One clear answer

Start with exact instrument type, maker or label, serial number, dimensions, materials, condition, repairs, case, accessories, and whether the instrument is playable. Labels and signatures can be copied, so they are evidence to inspect, not proof on their own.

Auction records are market evidence, not a final appraisal. Authenticity, condition, provenance, size, medium, completeness, and demand can materially change value.

Photo checklist

  • Full front, back, sides, headstock or scroll, bridge, sound holes, label, serial number, maker mark, case, bow, electronics, and accessories.
  • Close-ups of cracks, open seams, repairs, refinishing, missing parts, changed pickups, replaced hardware, warping, and wear.
  • Measurements, case labels, receipts, repair invoices, certificates, and ownership history.
