Expert - Legal expertise relating to pianos

Sylvie Fouanon was named an official Expert to the Paris Court of Appeal in 2011. Expertise involves precise assessments, and is much more advanced than a simple commercial appraisal. An impartial, reputable and competent assessment must be carried out of the condition of the instrument, its technical possibilities and the price and appropriateness of any work. Court experts give the Judge a detailed and reasoned report which provides technical input into their deliberations. Being a court expert provides an extra string to Sylvie Fouanon’s bow when individuals require her expertise: her meticulous approach transfers perfectly into helping private customers. The expertise she offers to clients with doubts about an instrument, or who have disagreements with insurance companies or legal disputes with sellers, is every bit as detailed as the expertise she provides to judges.
