Our history
The Company was established in 2019 with an aim to address an important gap in the trade which is sourcing & providing antique vintage instruments to violin shops across the Country for resale. The idea was innovative as there does not seem to exist professional setups in the Country that procures and distributes vintage instruments to the trade. While specialized music auction houses frequently hold sales of antique instruments, the ability to receive, evaluate and subsequently pay for the item was not available as a service. We were initially located in Portland, OR before moving to Seattle, WA in 2024. From 2024 onward, we also provide services to Art galleries around the World by procuring artworks of famous European,American and Indian artists.
