Seven ways to act
Choose your way in: each one leads to a precise action and a dedicated contact.
Acquisition & heritage
Build a living heritage.
Acquire an exceptional Carbonare violin or antique instrument, play it, collect it or entrust it to a talent: we bring together private selection, appraisal, certification, acquisition planning, care and visibility to build its story over time.
- 01
Buy a violin for yourself
Access a private selection of Carbonare violins and antique instruments, guided by your playing level, tonal goals, budget and heritage ambition. Trial, documentation, appraisal, certification and a tailored payment plan form one seamless journey.
Receive a private selection - 02
Buy, then entrust to a talent
You remain the owner. The Foundation selects an artist, organises the loan, oversees care and documents the instrument’s life through performances, encounters, archives and chosen visibility. The instrument gains a trajectory, a performance history and recognition that strengthen its heritage value.

Fund an acquisition for the collection
Associate your name, family or company with a remarkable instrument entering the collection. Its artistic purpose, transmission and progress are shared with you, with invitations to meet those who bring it to life.

Give or lend an instrument
A silent instrument returns to the stage. Appraisal, certificates, history and photographs are gathered into a file that belongs to you; the instrument is played by a chosen artist, maintained by our makers, documented on stage and featured in our narratives and press relations. On loan you remain the owner: duration, insurance, care and return are agreed in writing.

Complete support
From the first idea to the life of the instrument, one dedicated contact brings together expertise, network and follow-up.
- 01
Your project, your contact
We begin by listening to your level, repertoire and ambition. A dedicated adviser then guides the search, documentation and long-term follow-up.
- 02
Selection & encounters
A shortlist of instruments is prepared for you, each trial guided in a calm setting. Private concerts, workshops and dinners then bring artists, makers and collectors together.
- 03
Appraisal & network
Condition, provenance, certificates and expert opinion are gathered around your project. Collectors, institutions and patrons gather around chosen instruments to give them a wider life.
- 04
Life & transmission
Artist, performances, care and photographic archives: the instrument begins its story with you. With your consent, that story continues through our narratives, events and press relations.
Concerts, encounters & exhibitions
Give your event an unforgettable presence.
Private reception, commemoration, corporate evening, cultural programme or public gathering: the Foundation creates a moment with you, carried by an exceptional instrument, an artist and a story.
