  • SOTHEBY’S TO VALUE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS IN DUBLIN

    Valuations on musical instruments will be offered by Sotheby’s at the Carolan Room, National Concert Hall, Dublin on July 2. Head of Musical Instruments at the world renowned auction house Tim Ingles will be in attendance from 12.30 p.m. to 5 p.m.  Since 2003 Mr. Ingles has sold 13 Stradivari’s and seven Guarneri del Gesus. In 2007 he published a compendium of Sotheby’s sales of musical instruments over the previous 30 years entitled Four Centuries of Violin Making.

    Valuations will be five euro per item with proceeds going to the “Health in Harmony” project which helps send musicians to nursing homes and other care settings.  Pianos, harpsichords, woodwind and brass instruments will not be valued on the day. Details of these can be e-mailed to dublinoffice@sothebys.com and a valuation will be provided.
