Bespoke Services for Collectors, Enthusiasts & Estate Planning
Managing a collection of vintage instruments — whether modest or extensive — can be a surprisingly complex task. From cataloguing and valuation to long-term planning or eventual sale, RL Music’s Advisory Services provide clarity, expertise, and trusted guidance at every stage.
How We Can Help
At RL Music, I offer tailored advisory services for individuals and families who wish to evaluate, preserve, or rationalise their musical instrument collections. Whether you’re an experienced collector, a lifelong enthusiast, or managing an estate, each engagement begins with a personal consultation to understand your goals and circumstances. From strategic collection planning and valuations to confidential brokerage and legacy management, every service is designed to deliver professional guidance with integrity, discretion, and deep market expertise.
-
Collection Cataloguing – professional documentation of your instruments, including specifications, provenance, and condition.
-
Valuations & Market Guidance – current market insights and formal valuation reports for insurance, sale, or estate purposes.
-
Downsizing & Dispersal Planning – developing structured plans for partial or complete collection sales, with a focus on preserving value and intent.

Preservation & Restoration Advice – recommendations for conservation, servicing, and presentation of rare or historic instruments.
The Consultation Approach
Every engagement begins with a one-to-one consultation — a structured, confidential session to understand your collection, objectives, and timeframe. From there, we outline a tailored plan, whether that’s a full archival catalogue, valuation schedule, or long-term divestment strategy.
