Typical Violins Available

Please make an appointment by telephone for a personal visit in College Station, Texas 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.

Outside of our headquarters in College Station, Jack N. Prewitt of Rochester, NY stocks the largest selection of premium Nagyvary violins, including our best cello. For qualified prospective buyers, Mr. Prewitt personally delivers the instruments at no charge for evaluation anywhere in the Northeast within a reasonable driving distance from Rochester.
