Buying and selling fine Musical Instruments at auction has proved enjoyable and rewarding for many people over hundreds of years. You can be sure of receiving all the help you need to do this from ourselves, in fact we were in business before Beethoven wrote his First Symphony.

Each transaction is welcomed using all our expertise and professionalism combined with the latest technology to provide a global auction service for your benefit.

There are five auctions of Musical Instruments held each year in London during which some 250 lots are sold by Phillips incorporating Puttick and Simpson. These auctions include violins, violas, celli and bows, a varied selection suitable for the student, the performer, the collector and soloist. Prices of instruments vary from three to six figures and many shrewd bidders have found to their advantage that timely purchases provide not only fine instruments but handsome profits in due course as well.

The Strad Magazine of July 1899 well understood our role and wrote as follows: "The name Puttick and Simpson is almost as well known to votaries of the violin as that of Stradivarius himself and during the 105 years that this firm has held violin sales, more valuable instruments have found new owners and more money has changed hands at their sales than any other auction in the world."

Illustrated catalogues are available.

Auctions take place at our 101 New Bond Street location and a map of our location is provided for your convenience.
