Musical Instrument Auctions
For some the sound of a stringed instrument is music, to others an electric guitar is more like it.
At Harper Field we feature musical instruments as a specialist section of our auctions every 3 months, and in the recent past have achieved a world record result for a double bass (£80,000 including premium) and many more exceptional prices for guitars, violins, cellos and bows.
If you have a musical instrument of any kind and you may like to sell with us please do get in touch.
