Appraisals

---

Have an old violin, viola, or cello and you want to get more information about it? Its value? Its history? Just want someone to "take a look at it'?

Then you want an APPRAISAL. An appraisal will give you the information that you need for insurance, or to sell an instrument (on your own), or just to satisfy your curiosity.

CAN'T COME TO ST. PAUL?

The most accurate way to appraise an instrument is to see it in person. But if you can't bring your instrument to our shop in St. Paul, Minnesota, we can do an online appraisal for you for $100. The Online Appraisal Service is your next best option if you can't bring your instrument to our shop. An accurate Online Appraisal relies upon YOU to take accurate measurements, and to provide detailed photographs. 

Please realize the accuracy of your appraisal will be influenced by the accuracy of the pictures and measurements that you provide.
