We also are interested in talking with people who have old violins that they have come across and would like to know more about, and can give a verbal appraisal or recommend a qualified written appraiser. We have had great success with donated older violins that aren't being played and finding them new homes, and take great joy knowing that instruments can play on with new life!

Bow Sales

We are the exclusive dealer of CodaBow and Arco Brasil in the greater Westford area. We carry a full line of CodaBows and Revelle carbon fiber bows as well as a selection of premium new pernambuco bows from Arco Brasil.

Also available are the highest quality old pernambuco violin bows from Jean Bouvin, Marco Raposo, John Brasil, and Adolph Berger, and viola bows from W.E. Dörfler, P.R. LeBlanc, Werner, and Walter Mettal.

Trade-ins and step-ups

If you bought an instrument from us as a beginner and you're ready to step up, we honor the value back as trade-in credit. Rental customers also accumulate rental equity toward the future purchase of an instrument — see the rental equity program for details.

Try before you buy

For sales over $1,500 we encourage in-shop side-by-side comparisons and home trials. Come in to play through several instruments at once — it's the only way to really hear the differences. Book a sales consultation below and we'll have several in the price range and tonal style you're looking for ready to play.
