IMPORTANT NOTICE Online Shop Instrument sales
(Ready To Play Policy)
It is important you are aware that many online suppliers (especially
Music shops not dedicated to stringed intruments) will not send your
instrument out to you fully set up, and in fact you will receive your
instrument straight from the box ie Bridge down Soundpost down etc. This
is extremely important if you want to play your instrument when you
receive it. Otherwise you will need to take it to a specialist violin
shop to have the set up carried out. This will generally cost a minimum
of £25.00, So unless stated on their website we would advise you to
check with your online supplier first that they have this work
professionally done prior to dispatch. As Professional Restorers, Repairers and
Makers, we only sell string instruments that have been properly Adjusted, Set-up
and supplied ready to play. This FREE service is included in the price,
and carried out by our own experts in our workshops. so
you will not be receiving your Violin, Viola Cello or Double Bass 'Straight from the factory Package (Bridge
down etc). Professional upgrades are available by request, This includes
better Strings, Bridge, Soundpost etc
