About Corelli Global
A house built on expertise,
trust, and legacy
Arcangelo Corelli, one of the founding figures of the violin tradition, believed that music was both a craft and a gift to the world. That conviction — that the finest instruments exist not as objects of value but as vessels of human expression — is the foundation on which Corelli Global was built.
We were founded on the belief that the world’s greatest stringed instruments deserve custodians as extraordinary as the makers who created them. We work at the intersection of investment, connoisseurship, and philanthropy — connecting exceptional instruments with the collectors, musicians, and institutions best placed to care for them.
Our practice guides collectors through every stage of acquisition — from sourcing, authentication, and valuation to long-term stewardship and philanthropic placement.
Instruments of singular distinction
The Challenge
The greatest instruments in existence
are heard by too few.
Rare stringed instruments are among the world’s most remarkable cultural treasures. Crafted by legendary makers such as Antonio Stradivari, Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù, Nicolò Amati, Carlo Bergonzi, and Giovanni Battista Guadagnini, and many others, they possess a unique combination of artistry, history, and tonal excellence that cannot be replicated.
Corelli Global exists to connect the world’s finest instruments with exceptional musicians and build the structures that make these cultural treasures accessible, audible, and preserved for generations to come.
The Collection
Instruments of singular distinction,
available on private enquiry
Corelli Global works with instruments by the greatest makers in history — Stradivari, Guarneri del Gesù, Amati, Guadagnini, Vuillaume, Gagliano and others. All enquiries are handled with complete discretion.
Several instruments of exceptional provenance are currently placed privately.

Every instrument has a story.
Every decision shapes it.
Acquiring, building, or stewarding a significant collection is rarely a single moment. It unfolds over years — through relationships, opportunities, and choices that compound quietly into legacy. Corelli Global works alongside you at each stage, bringing the expertise, discretion, and global reach that decisions of this scale require.
01
Acquisition
& Authentication
We guide collectors through every layer of the acquisition process: provenance research, certificate review, condition assessment, and negotiation. Once an instrument is yours, we continue as its steward — advising on conservation, insurance, valuation, and the careful documentation that protects both the instrument and its story for the long term.
02
Collection
Curation
A collection is not assembled. It is composed. Every piece you add either belongs to what you are building — or quietly works against it. We help collectors think clearly about what their collection is for — what story it tells, what gap it fills, what it might one day become. This is not about scale. It is about coherence, intention, and something worthy of the instruments themselves.
03
Institutional Engagement
& Philanthropic Strategy
The finest instruments deserve to be played. Through relationships with talented musicians, orchestras, and music foundations worldwide, we help collectors move beyond ownership — into the more enduring role of patron. Whether through structured lending programmes, philanthropic placement, or institutional partnerships, we create the conditions for an instrument to be heard. Because the greatest thing a collection can do is make music possible.

Philanthropy
Beyond ownership,
towards legacy
The finest stringed instruments have proven, over centuries, to be among the most consistent investments available — appreciating in value as their supply diminishes and demand grows. What they offer a collector is rare: beauty, cultural significance, and financial resilience in a single object.
The greatest players in the world now rely on benefactors willing to lend their instruments. In doing so, those collectors gain something ownership alone cannot provide — their instrument heard in the greatest concert halls, their name added to its provenance, and their legacy woven into the living history of music.
A great instrument is not a possession. It is a conversation across centuries — between the maker, the player, and everyone who will ever listen. The patron is the one who keeps that conversation alive.Maja Wegrzynowska · Founder, Corelli Global
