Appraisals / Expertises / Certificates of authenticity
What type of guitar is it?
- Where was the instrument built?
Assignment to a region or school - When was the guitar built?
Classification of age and time of origin - Who built the guitar?
Is the existing signature genuine?
Unsigned instruments: If possible, an attribution is made to a workshop, family or – in the best case – to a specific guitar maker.
The initial oral consultation is free of charge (donations that benefit my research are welcome).
Written appraisals require a lot of time and therefore I have to charge a fee.
Cost: Normally, I charge a flat rate of 150,- € for an expert opinion with time-limited research and average writing effort. Under certain circumstances, the amount can be reduced somewhat, but in the case of particularly complex work, it can also be higher.
A financial estimate will be agreed upon in each individual case before work on the evaluation begins.
