Consult a musical instrument specialist for your appraisal
What is a musical instrument's value, whether it's a modern instrument or an antique? A musical instrument is any object that produces musical sound, but the in general, the more complex and the finer the work that went into creating the instrument, the more valuable it is.
As with any object, estimated musical instrument appraisals are only estimates and that price might not be obtained when the instrument is sold. The area where you're selling a vintage or antique instrument plays a large part in selling price, such as selling in a high-end shop in a large city versus a shop in a small town.
Questions on JustAnswer cover instruments from baby grand pianos and Stradivarius violins to collectible guitars and clarinets. Customers seeking musical instrument appraisals on JustAnswer appreciate being able to get an answer at any time and without taking a valuable instrument out of the home.
They can even ask follow-up questions, and approve payment only when they're completely satisfied.
