When people say "student instrument", they are generally referring to 3 different categories; factory-made, hand carved (handmade by several different makers), and handmade (one maker). Our price ranges are as follows *includes fractional sizes: (These prices include outfit prices and single instruments)
Violin Viola Cello Factory Made $450-$550.00 $700-$850.00 $850-$1200.00 Hand Carved $750-$900.00 $850-$1000.00 $1200-$3200.00 Hand Made $1000-$3200.00 $1500-$4500.00 $3800-$10,000.00
Each instrument that we sell is set-up professionally, meaning new bridge, soundpost adjustment, and new strings. Every instrument, regardless of its cost, has its place and should sound its personal best. We sell the best instruments from all these ranges and we are happy to send instruments on trial. Please contact us for trial guidelines and time frames. Note to Parents: Never underestimate the importance of the bow. The bow is not just a stick with hair, but an essential part of a music making team. We liken it to a good marriage. One partner must compliment the other to be successful.
