Vintage instruments for sale
Violin making is not only about construction, but also about restoration of bowed instruments. Every now and then I buy and restore instruments I like, from small size “medio fino” Mirecourt instruments to signed master instruments sold with certificate (made by an approved expert).
In general, I sell the instruments rather below the going price. In my opinion (and I’m not alone!) the cash value of vintage instruments is over-evaluated far too often as a consequence of speculation.
Here you'll find what I have currently available in my workshop. For price information, please send me an e-mail or give me a call !
