For Dealers of Fine & Rare Stringed Instruments

Need Help Closing a Multi-Investor Instrument Deal?

We’ll take care of the paperwork — so you can focus on your business.

Prices of fine and rare instruments are now routinely out of reach even for the most talented musicians. Many artists abandon their search for the perfect violins, violas and cellos simply due to cost.

Strumenti offers a solution — enabling musicians and their patrons to co-purchase the perfect instrument.

Most dealers of higher end instruments have encountered this scenario. But upon looking into coordinating multiple buyers into one deal — most find it is just too complicated. And the opportunity for a sale disappears.

Strumenti eliminates this challenge. With our streamlined solution, a group of buyers can co-purchase an instrument using a specially-designed LLC.

Impact Story:
Melissa White

Up-and-coming soloist Melissa White was able to procure a violin circa 1780 by Ferdinando Gagliano of Naples.

  • Strumenti facilitated the deal which brought together a group of eight patrons. Strumenti took care of all the regulatory filings and compliance paperwork associated with the transaction.

  • Each patron owns their pro-rata share of the instrument via the Strumenti-created LLC.

  • Melissa White herself also participated in the deal. By doing so, she not only secured the instrument for herself for the long term; she enjoys her pro-rata ownership of the instrument and the prospect of sharing in any future appreciation in its value. 

How It Works for Dealers

For the dealer, the process remains simple and straightforward. You receive one full payment, allowing you to record the sale as usual and pay your seller promptly. Strumenti manages all the complexities and legalities, ensuring a smooth transaction.

We empower the musician with the information they need to assemble a group of their patrons and close the deal. Patrons and musician alike all contribute towards the purchase. Each instrument is owned by its own LLC as an investment vehicle.

Strumenti takes care of legal paperwork, regulatory filings, and banking transactions associated with the group purchase. The result is co-ownership of the instrument, pro-rata based on their respective investment amount.
