Auction Price Guide of Authentic Stringed Instruments and Bows

     by   Donald M. Cohen

I am pleased to announce that I am now the new publisher and owner of THE RED BOOK, Auction Price Guide of Authentic Stringed Instruments and Bows. Publication resumed in January 2006.

For the last 25 years I have tracked and analyzed auction data as a way to give my customers accurate appraisals and to personally keep informed of market values. Now I have the opportunity to expand my work through this inclusive and well-established publication. Under my stewardship, THE RED BOOK continues in its tradition as a great analytical tool responsive to the needs of the professional instrument dealer and, as always, a great reference guide to our specialized market of violin family instruments.

Soft cover 464 pages, 8.5” x 11” 

This book features worldwide sales results from the major auction houses of England, France, Germany, Italy and the United States, from 1985 to 2005 and contains more than 20,000 auction sales representing the works of more than 4,000 instrument makers. The sales are listed alphabetically by maker, sub grouped by instruments and arranged chronologically by sales dates. Prices are given in US dollars, British pounds and the Euro. It has a new easy-to-read format containing more information per sale than before and a helpful “Trade Secrets” appendix. Perfect bound for beauty and durability
