Please make an appointment by telephone for a personal visit to try out a large number of instruments. Call (979) 690-6440. We mail violins only occasionally, since such requests are too numerous, and we prefer to keep 90% of the violins at home in our showroom. When we agree to mail a violin, we do so by UPS 2nd-day-air for a 2-week try-out, and the expenses for round-trip shipping must be guaranteed by the client if the instrument is not purchased. Filling special orders with unusual specifications will require approximately 8 months for completion, plus an arguable period of time for adjustment.

We do not buy back any used instruments, but we accept them in a trade-in arrangement as a partial payment for our higher grade product. Normally, we make a 15% deduction from the original price for depreciation requiring minimal restoration. If there is any significant damage, a fair market value must be first determined.
