After the initial review of the photos, Owen Lee will request that you bring your instrument or bow for an in-person inspection if we think it is interesting.

2. Certify the Authenticity & Choose Your Selling Options

After Owen Lee’s inspection, Owen will work with authentication experts to certify the instruments and bows

After experts guarantee the authenticity, Owen will give offer to the owner (targeted price, possible repair and restoration, certificate of authenticity)

There are three ways in which we might work with you to sell your instruments or bows:
