What would you do if I told you that a single Sheet Music piece ( Manuscript) could be worth $50000 or even more?
Yes, there’s lots of money to be made by collecting Sheet Music manuscripts or Sheet Music albums.

Difficulty: Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    The big money is in collecting Classical Sheet Music manuscripts like Piano, Cello or Violin music pieces.

    Composers such as Beethoven, Bach or Mozart are are eagerly sought after by ardent collectors who are willing to pay very high prices for Classical music scores.

  2. Step 2

    If you had piano lessons when you were young, then have a look inside your Piano-Stool and you might be pleasantly surprised to find that amongst the sheet music collection there are one or two items that look very interesting and you are now wondering what these manuscripts could be worth.

  3. Step 3

    Thinking about who used to play a musical instrument in your family and among your friends, you suddenly recall that your Aunt, Agatha used to play the Cello and she no longer needs her old Classical Sheet Music.

    Then there’s that ‘Junk Shop’ down the road that is full of clutter ….everything from Shoe-horns to old magazines. You think: Perhaps there might be some items of sheet music lurking somewhere in that heap of ‘who knows what’. It’s worth having a look even though you’ll have to wade through all those piles of things that people have thrown away.

    You can also hunt for Classical Sheet music pieces at Church Bazaars, Charity Stalls, Pawn Shops and Public Library book sales….very often, you’ll find Sheet Music there too!

  4. Step 4

    Avenues for selling your Classical Sheet Music Manuscripts would be
    www.lesliehindman.com/departments/books_manuscripts as well as the juilliard music school plus Sotheby’s amongst many others.
    There are also many private Manuscript Collectors who would reward you richly for your Classical Scores.

    Take a look at this article to see what I mean:

    Now, where did I put that Strauss waltz manuscript I tried so diligently to play… could I have placed it up in the suitcases in the Attic or did I put it in one of those boxes in the garage?
