Violin Appraisal Does Not Have To Be Difficult

By Kenneth Smith


After cleaning out your attic, you realized you had an old violin sitting there collecting dust and you are now wondering what in the world you are going to do with it. You could consider getting a violin appraisal to see its worth. You could then decide whether or not you want to keep it or you want to sell it.

A qualified appraiser may exist in your local town or you may have to look outside of your area. Look into all of the possibilities to see what works the best for you. It is good to keep an open mind when looking for new ideas like this if you are not knowledgeable about it.

Look for the fairest price you can find. After you have talked to a few people about it, you will then need to decide whether or not you want to keep it or sell it. You may have wanted to play for many years. You may already know how to play. If you do, pick it up and play it. See how it makes you feel. Perhaps you will want to continue.

Research its cost by looking at comparable violins online or asking people with expertise what they think. You could look at photos online or in books at your local library. People may be available online to give you an idea of its value, too. You could go on social media or messaging sites to see who you can connect with.

Look for various ways to get connected. People sometimes gather together at shows where they display their products for sale. Each year, many cities have them for musical instruments. Look to see if your area is going to sponsor one this year. Attending one of these might be a good idea because it will allow you to network and maybe find someone who will give you a good appraisal on your instrument.

Do not be afraid to reach out to people that you do not know and try to get to know them. They can be a support to you in ways that you may have not imagined. Network and get to know people there and by word of mouth, you can get your needs met with figuring out the cost of your violin.

You may find a buyer at a trade show. Ask them what they are willing to give you for it. Use your best judgement when it comes to business dealings. It is not fun getting taken advantage of. Trust your gut instinct, too.

Be consistent when trying to find the right appraisal. You will be surprised at the way that markets fluctuate. Prices go up and then they go down. It is not always stable get a good price for it when the time seems right. Getting advice about the instability of the market may help you decide which direction to go in.
