A wholesale marketplace for the bowed instrument trade

Whether you need to offload dead stock or pick up some extra inventory, Handcrafted has you covered.

The Handcrafted team are members of the same community as you, and we've built a marketplace that addresses the pains that we've experienced first-hand. Keep reading to find out how we are working to modernize the industry.
Productivity
One-stop luthier shop
Woodhounds and peg-hoarders, rejoice! Stop looking to auction sites, message boards, and word of mouth to buy and sell supplies & materials. Handcrafted offers a one-stop shop for getting all of that excess out of (or into!) your shop.
Confidence
Tonal and playability characteristics
One of the worst parts about looking at instruments online is that you have absolutely no idea what they sound or play like. What good is knowing it's an "1880 Mittenwald, German Violin" when you don't know whether it's warm or metallic; thin or rich; resistant or responsive? Sellers on Handcrafted can provide instrument characteristics to help give you confidence before you buy.
