Musical Instruments

Christie’s has a long history of selling musical instruments by some of the world’s finest makers, from Antonio Stradivari to Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù. We’ve also held auctions of iconic guitars owned by legendary musicians including Jeff Beck, Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour.

Musical instruments are sold through Private Sales or within mixed-category and single-owner auctions throughout the year. Our experienced team of specialists is always available to advise on how best to buy and sell with Christie’s, or to offer free and confidential valuations.
