Free violin appraisal app
A free violin appraisal app helps separate a trade violin, repair project, decorative piece, student instrument, and potentially significant maker attribution.

Start with the full violin, label, scroll, body, back, ribs, bridge, bow, case, measurements, condition, and repair history. A label alone cannot prove a maker. Many old violins carry trade or copied labels.
Auction records are market evidence, not a final appraisal. Condition, authenticity, provenance, size, maker attribution, repairs, bow quality, case, and demand can materially change value.
Photo checklist
- Full front and back, scroll, pegbox, ribs, corners, f-holes, bridge, tailpiece, saddle, endpin, label, bow, frog, case, and certificates.
- Close-ups of cracks, open seams, soundpost area, neck angle, repaired breaks, varnish wear, missing parts, and replaced fittings.
- Measurements, repair invoices, ownership history, and any paperwork from a violin shop or previous appraisal.
