Catalog > Stringed Instruments > Violins updated December 26, 2011

Our violin stock changes constantly! We always have a good assortment of used violins in stock. Some are student models (generally starting at around $300). Some are newer, good-to-excellent quality Chinese-made instruments that have been inspected/set up for good playability. Others are vintage/antique fiddles which have been refurbished by one of our luthiers specializing in violin-family instruments. Unless stated otherwise, all violins are full-size (4/4). We generally recommend renting if you need a fractional-size violin.

See our return policy before ordering.
