Appraisals  |  The Musical Instrument Museum does not offer an appraisal service, but there are several organizations that can direct you to a reputable appraiser in your area.

Appraisers often specialize in a particular type of material and appraisers of musical instruments almost always specialize in specific kinds of instruments.
