Selling with Wilder & Davis

For over three decades, Wilder & Davis has helped musicians, collectors, and institutions sell fine instruments and bows. Our team provides guidance throughout the process, from the initial evaluation to the final sale.

Depending on the instrument or bow and your objectives, we may recommend a consignment sale, offer to purchase it directly, or advise you on selling through a leading auction house. Each instrument is carefully examined to assess its authenticity, condition, and market value, allowing us to determine the most appropriate approach.

With locations across Canada, we can present instruments and bows directly to musicians and collectors in different markets. We also work closely with dealers and colleagues throughout North America and internationally, allowing us to reach potential buyers beyond our own clientele.
