WARNING
There have been a number of cases recently of sellers receiving fraudulent emails from potential scammers. Please use caution when responding to any suspicious enquiries. If in doubt, request full identification details (name, address and phone number) to confirm the buyer's identity. Do not accept or arrange any online payments (such as Paypal or Western Union) as these can be manipulated to your disadvantage. Due to these ongoing security concerns and the limited number of advertisements placed over the last two years, the creators of Musicale have decided to close down this site in March 2012. As of 21/10/2011 no further paid advertisements are being accepted.




About Musicale


scroll sideMusicale [myoo-zi-kahl] -noun  A social gathering with a musical theme.

Musicale is an Australian company that aims to provide an easy and secure way for buyers and sellers of orchestral stringed instruments and bows to find each other. The site is administered by two experienced violin makers - Hugh Withycombe and Alan Coggins.

Sellers can list their instruments anonymously, or they may choose to include their name if they prefer... however, their contact details will always remain completely confidential. Music shops, dealers and violin makers can also use the Musicale facilities to promote their products with the option of including a link to their web site in all of their advertisements.

Buyers of instruments can freely view all of the advertisements on Musicale without the need to register or log in. Items are categorised and can be sorted by city, state and price, making it easy to quickly locate and browse the ads that are most relevant. Any enquiries about an item are submitted through the web site and immediately forwarded to the seller who can then decide how to follow up on the contact.

If you would like to place an advertisement with Musicale you will first need to complete a simple (free) registration process - you will then be able to enter a basic free ad or purchase one of the various advertising options, depending on your individual requirements. You can also contact us directly to discuss tailored business packages for multiple ads, or to arrange banner advertisements for your business or premium instrument sales. We invite you to explore the Musicale site, particularly the specific menu areas entitled 'For buyers' and 'For sellers'. There is also a page of useful resources with some general information about instruments and bows.
