Repairs & Restoration
Antiquity Music has extensive experience restoring a wide variety of rare and exotic musical instruments. While Antiquity Music typically only repairs and restores instruments that it purchases, we occasionally offer our restoration services for instruments if they are of significant rarity and interest or if they are being offered on consignment. If you have an instrument that you think might fit this description, please feel free to view our Restoration page or our Sell or Trade Your Gear page, or Contact Us directly.
Appraisals
Antiquity Music offers appraisals of instruments for insurance and other purposes. All instruments must be presented to Antiquity Music in person in order to be appraised. Please Contact Us for further details.
