Often we are approached by an estate or individual that has a collection of musical instruments they would like to sell. It can be a large collection that was curated over 20-30 years or a lifetime, instruments handed down in an inheritance, or just a piece of two with significance. Either way, our firm can assist in the liquidation of musical instruments.
Types of instruments we handle range from guitars, violins and other string instruments, drums, accordions, and even bells and other melodic accessories. Age ranges are from antique to vintage or new.
Some instruments can be played, but sometimes they can’t or shouldn’t be played. Like with valuable manuscripts, jewels, and important vehicles some instruments should only be handed with gloves and of course that is always our policy as well. This is always true of any type of special artifact. Most musical collections are for investment or to be admired, or both. They are always however admired for their craftsmanship and engineering.
