Expertises for Stringed Instruments
Depending on what you desire an expertise for, we offer various options
Verbal taxation / Cost proposal:
In the event that you have an instrument that requires fixing or maintenance, we recommend the following approach: Please bring our instrument to one of our sites. There we will tax it and will determine whether it is worht the repair cost. If this is the case, we will establish the proposed cost for you and you can decide whether you want the service or not. Once you place your order, this service is of course included. Otherwise we will charge a small service fee; the actual amount will depend on value of the instrument and time spent.
Value Taxation for Insurances:
Insurances typically request a written value taxation for your instrument or your bow when you start the contract in order to fix their rates. We do deliver these taxations. The service fee amount depends on time spent and value of the instrument.
Certificate of Origin:
Certificates of origin for instruments and bows require highest effort. Detailled research and most accurate investigation is done for these. A certificate of origin is occasionally required and will help to sell your instrument. Again, the cost of such a certificate depends on the time spent and value of the instrument, however, they will typically be higher than for the other expertises.
