Brompton’s has established itself as one of the foremost auctioneers of instruments, particularly bowed strings, in Europe. Put simply, they sell more instruments, for more money, and break more records than anybody else.

Luthier Service

Many instruments that come to Brompton’s have not been played for years, and are often in need of minor attention, a new bridge or sound post, new strings etc. James Hawkins, a restorer of many years experience, who has a bench at Brompton’s puts these instruments carefully back into playing condition. Any costs relating to minor restorations are discussed with the owner beforehand and usually deducted from the sale proceeds.
