How It Works

Whether you're a musician or an investor interested in acquiring a string instrument or bow, I offer a streamlined and personalized process to save you time, avoid costly mistakes, and ensure that your investment is both meaningful and secure.

With over a decade of experience in the string instrument world, I’ve built trusted relationships with respected auctions, dealers, and luthiers in the U.S., Europe, and Latin America. As a result, I offer an optional brokerage service for clients who want deeper support beyond consultation.

This service includes:

• Personally trying and evaluating select instruments or bows on your behalf

• Tailoring recommendations based on tone, condition, maker, and market value

• Facilitating access to exclusive or hard-to-find pieces

• Helping negotiate the best price and terms, without the pressure of a seller’s agenda

  
  

You’ll have the option to decide after our meeting if this level of involvement is right for you..
