Our Advantages: Buying a violin from us over the Internet has many advantages that the traditional way of purchasing an instrument in a physical store does not have. 1. We post plenty of pictures under each violin. The enlarged pictures accurately show every detail of the appearance of the violin. 2. We also post a video clip for each violin. All the violins are played by a couple of violinists. Those videos enable you to compare the sounding of the violins repeatedly. 3. There is a diagram with the weight and measurements, as well as a photo of the inside label, on the page of each violin. 4. There is an objective description for each instrument, including the name of maker or attribution, the condition and known repair history of the item, etc. We accept returns. Please see Return Policy for full details. Free Shipping Worldwide We pack our violins and bows professionally and ship them through FedEx/UPS/DHL. Shipping takes 3-4 days domestically and 7-10 days internationally. Please notice: Item shipped to residents of New York State or purchase collected in person at our New York premise will be assessed a state sales tax of 8.375% unless the purchaser presents a valid resale certificate at the time of purchase. Price Each violin has been carefully evaluated within the context of market trends. Our publicized prices are fixed prices. However, we give certain discount to those who are outstanding violinists. The prices might be adjusted due to the change of the foreign currency exchange rate and other factors. Payment Methods We accept credit card, bank transfer, bank draft, Cashier’s Check, and check drawn on a US bank. Conclusion Our website is securely enciphered. Your personal information is absolutely confidential. While sitting in front of your own computer, you can make the best decision for purchasing an instrument. No distraction from any impatient shopping assistant. Please take your time and enjoy. For those who would like to make a phone call or a visit in person, please make an appointment with us.

We accept a return without asking for reasons.
Please contact us and submit your return request within seven days of your receiving the instrument.

A return number will then be generated and sent to you through email. Please return you item with that number.

The returned item needs to be in the same condition in which it was dispatched. And it needs to be shipped out no later than three business days of your receiving the return number.

We will make a refund of your payment to Violin1782 less the cost of shipping within 3 business days of our receiving your returned item.

We will both incur minor losses in the unlikely event that you request a return. However, the most damaged is the instrument itself. Please, ask as many questions as you would like before you buy the instrument. We would love to help make your best decision on your purchase and thus avoid a return.
