Frequently asked questions
Are these appraisals accepted for insurance purposes?
Many insurance providers and estate attorneys accept CMA-style appraisals for scheduling musical instrument coverage and estate valuations, especially when they include documented comparable sales and a professional PDF. For USPAP-compliant appraisals required by some insurers, you may need a certified human appraiser — our reports are structured to complement professional review.
What instruments can I appraise?
Any used instrument we have comp data for — electric guitars, acoustic guitars, bass guitars, guitar amplifiers, effects pedals, keyboards, synthesizers, drum kits, pro audio gear, and more. Coverage grows as our marketplace data expands.
How is this different from Reverb's price guide?
Reverb's price guide only shows Reverb data. Treblemakers aggregates sold listings from Reverb, eBay, Guitar Center, and other sources — giving you a broader, more accurate comp pool. You also control which comps go into your report, which Reverb's tool doesn't allow.
Can I use this for insurance claims?
Yes — many homeowner and musician-specific insurance policies accept CMA-style reports for "scheduled personal property" riders (the coverage type that protects instruments). We recommend confirming requirements with your specific insurer. The Appraiser tier includes white-label branding for professionals who need branded reports.
Do unused monthly reports roll over?
No — monthly reports reset at each billing cycle. If you need reports sporadically, the à la carte packs (1, 5, or 10 reports) are a better fit than a monthly subscription.
Is there a free trial?
Dealers who claim a free profile and confirm past sales earn free report credits — 1 credit per confirmed sale. This lets you try the full report experience at no cost. Free-tier users can also purchase à la carte reports without committing to a subscription.
