Certificates and Appraisals

Mohr & Mohr does not provide instrument appraisals. Should you need a qualified appraiser in your area, contact the American Federation of Violin & Bow Makers

Mohr & Mohr does provide bow appraisals. It is recommended that you update your appraisal a minimum of every 3-5 years or more frequently depending on the market.  The bow must be visually inspected prior to providing a written appraisal. Contact Us if you need an appraisal or an update.

An Insurance Appraisal is a written document which states the replacement value of an item on the retail market, regardless of where the replacement may be purchased. Most insurance companies will replace an item with"like or kind," making the value an important aspect of the insurance coverage.

All purchases from Mohr & Mohr include an Insurance Appraisal in the selling price, provided after full payment is received.

$35                     Verbal appraisal
$50                     Update on a Rodney D. Mohr bow
$75                     Appraisal on bows under $5,000
$125                   Appraisal on bows over $5,000

A Verbal Appraisal to determine a general value for a bow is the least expensive option if a written document is not required nor recommended. Verbal appraisal fee may be applied to a written appraisal if requested within 30 days.

A Certificate of Authenticity is provided for each bow made by Rodney D. Mohr. This certificate includes the purchaser's name, type of bow, a full description including visible characteristics, model, weight, length and number. No value is stated on this document.
