Request a Valuation

Tarisio offers complimentary valuations of string instruments and bows. If you are considering selling an instrument or bow, we would be pleased to provide a valuation and our best recommendation for sale without obligation. Simply send us your images using the upload images link on this page. If possible, please include the following information:

• Length of back (instruments); weight (bows)
• Any relevant history of the item, including the purchase price if known
• Copies of appraisals, certificates of authenticity or any other literature relating to the item

Please provide color photographs of the top, back and head for instruments, or frog and tip for bows (see examples below).  Information on how to take the best photos for evaluation is available under the sellers portion of our site, here.

Please note that these evaluations are not usable for insurance purposes. For insurance appraisals, see our Appraisals and Valuations section.
