Our collections

Three collections, one standard. Every instrument here was played, examined and chosen by Jonathan.

Before an instrument is sold here, it is understood here.

Valuation, restoration, research and authentication are not add-ons. They are how the collection is built, and they are available to any owner, player or institution.
