Ingles & Hayday

Welcome to Ingles & Hayday - we offer auctions and private sales of fine stringed instruments Do you have an instrument or bow?

Who We Are
Tim Ingles and Paul Hayday joined Sotheby's in 1994 and 1997 respectively and went on to run the musical instrument department for 15 years. Their achievements included the iconic sale of the collection of Yehudi Menuhin in 1999, which achieved 16 auction records in 100 lots. From 2004 they also offered instruments by private sale and have sold instruments by Stradivari and Guarneri del Gesu amongst other highly sought-after makers. In 2013 Tim Ingles & Paul Hayday established a specialist musical instrument auction house and dealership under the name Ingles & Hayday to enable them to tailor their services to the specific requirements of their clients. Sotheby's no longer maintains an in house musical instrument department and Tim and Paul act as official Consultants to Sotheby's, with all relevant enquiries being referred directly to Ingles & Hayday. Ingles & Hayday hold two auctions a year in Sotheby's Bond Street galleries and the two companies continue to work closely together to ensure that vendors and buyers of musical instruments are offered the highest-quality service through their combined experience as leaders of the international market. If you have a stringed instrument or bow that you wish to have valued, please contact us to make an appointment - we regularly hold valuation days in cities across the world and also welcome emails with images of your instrument sent to [email protected]. We hold auctions twice a year at Sotheby's, London and also offer exceptional instruments for private sale. Are you looking for an instrument or bow? Our auctions are known for their quality and we welcome musicians at all points in the year to make an appointment at 77 Great Titchfield Street to view and play instruments that are currently available. Through private sales we offer a more bespoke service and take pride in helping musicians to find the right instrument - however long it takes! Please contact us to talk through what you are looking for +44 20 7042 7337

A few months ago we had the pleasure of chatting to Stefan Milenkovic about his 1783 G.B. Guadagnini, his time at the Juilliard School with Dorothy DeLay and Itzhak Perlman, and how his playing affects his Ironman performance.
