Patera Violins – Fine String Instruments & a Trusted Global Network

At Patera Violins, we are dedicated to the world of fine stringed instruments. Our carefully curated collection includes violins, violas, cellos, and bows of exceptional quality—ranging from rare historical masterworks to outstanding contemporary pieces. Whether you're a professional musician, a passionate student, or a discerning collector, we offer instruments across a wide price range to meet a variety of needs.

More Than Meets the Eye – A Constantly Evolving Selection
Our inventory is in continuous motion, and many of the finest instruments and bows we handle are not listed online. If you’re searching for something specific, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re happy to assist with individual requests and often have access to instruments available exclusively through our private and professional network.

With close ties to over 3,000 musicians, collectors, dealers, and investors worldwide, we have direct access to a broad and diverse range of fine string instruments. Through long-standing relationships with private collections, international colleagues, and some of the most respected experts in the field, we’re often able to locate rare and exceptional pieces on short notice.

Trusted Advice for Lasting Value
Alongside my work with musicians, I also offer independent, honest guidance on value-stable and appreciating investments in fine string instruments and bows. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of advising collectors and foundations on building meaningful collections with long-term perspective. My approach is grounded in both practical market knowledge and collaboration with globally recognized experts in the field of identification and valuation.

Working Together for the Perfect Match
At Patera Violins, we believe in the power of collaboration. We enjoy working closely with teachers, professors, dealers, and institutions, always with the shared goal of helping musicians find the instrument that truly fits.
