What violins are worth
What lifts the price
- Older instruments with a documented maker or workshop
- Solid carved tops rather than laminate
What pulls it down

- Missing or warped bows
Working out what yours is worth
- Look through the f-hole for a maker’s label and note what it says
- Confirm the bridge stands straight and the sound post is in place
Getting it ready
- Confirm the size: full, three-quarter, half or smaller, measured by body length.
- Check the bridge is standing correctly, the soundpost is in place, and the pegs hold.

Size, contents and condition: “Full Size 4/4 Violin with Bow and Case, Ready to Play”. Size is the first filter, especially for children. “Ready to play” means bridge up, soundpost in, strings on — only say it if true.
