All our violins have been carefully selected for their strong, clear tone and are luthier set up, including new bridge, soundpost and strings. Most used instruments have been upgraded with quality matching pegs, end button, tailpiece and chinrest.
Trades are considered towards the purchase price. Other instruments can be located and brought in upon request.
Regarding the authenticity of instrument labels, it is a tricky business to prove authenticity of instruments even for the finest luthiers. Sometimes the counterfeits can be finer than the originals! Therefore I regret that I cannot ensure the authenticity of used instruments unless they come with a certificate.
All instruments are sold as-is. An exception is with instruments with repaired cracks which open up, in which case we would have it repaired for you.
Trials are welcome in our shop (Salmon Arm, BC) or for 14 days in your home. More info
