This is a question you should ask. It is in the same tone as a question we ask ourselves: “There are plenty of other shops out there—why should they choose us for their violin, viola or cello?"
The fact is, we're certain we're your best choice for a dealer. We believe that when you examine all the collective benefits of working with All Violin Academy, you will agree.

Some dealers offer some of these benefits, but we are unique in offering all ten to our clients. If you've the time, read more details below. If you prefer, go ahead and browse our selection of instruments. Either way, remember: We want you as a client for life!
1. The Choicest Choices : A selection of breadth and depth
You may be seeking new and affordable violins for sale, cellos or violas that are ready to play and problem free. We have them. You may be looking for a vintage violin and want to try a number of them before you pay for the one you choose. That’s what we offer here. Or, you might be looking for that perfect new advancing or professional model, something European or American. We have those, too. We were determined to excel in all three of these vital inventory areas, and after a lot of time put in, we know that we do.
Wonder how we do it?

We put extra time in! What is the problem with the usual dealer's new inventory of violins, cellos and violas? In a word, many dealers are for the most part carrying the same stuff. They buy from a handful of distributors, who have bought from a handful of wholesalers, who have bought from a handful of importers. Most of it is expensive for what it is because it’s gone through so many hands--but it's easy for stores to obtain in quantity. We put a vast amount of time into finding better products and using them to build exclusive lines of formidable instruments that are sold only at All Violin Academy. The result is a level of quality in our instruments that others often can't compete with because they do not invest the huge amount of time necessary to do so.

We're very picky. We are large enough to offer an excellent selection of instruments, whether you seek a modestly priced viola, a more expensive cello or fine vintage violins for sale. Yet, we are small enough that every single instrument we sell is tested and hand-selected for quality construction and sound. If a new instrument doesn’t cut it, it is returned or wholesaled. If a vintage instrument doesn’t make the grade, it is returned or wholesaled. So, if it seems as though we love each of our instruments, we admit it—it’s true. Because every instrument we buy is one we admire ourselves.
2. Superior Personal Service
We are aware that “everyone” promises great service. It may be that your are so calloused about this that nothing said here will really convince, but here are the facts: We encourage you to speak with us by phone to help assure you get the violin, viola or cello you want and get help finding it. We will not hurry you nor try to talk you into something you don’t want. Our goal is to continue to build long term, long lasting relationships with our clients. So, Superior Personal Service is not just tag line, but the way we work.
3. Lifetime Exchange Privilege
We state elsewhere on the site that “there’s no buyer’s remorse here.” With our Lifetime trade-in, you are assured of a worry-free investment. Perhaps you’re the type who might worry after purchase if you made the best choice. Or, a few months after purchase, your teacher announces that you need something more aggressive in sound. Or, your child needs a ¾ violin, but she will be needing a full-sized one within a year or so. Just trade up! We'll credit your original purchase amount toward less any repairs and service needed less shipping and a modest 5 percent restocking fee.
4. 14 Day Money Back Guarantee
Though most of our clients come to us from referrals, many of you are dealing with us for the first time. How can you be assured that you will make a safe choice? Every violin, viola and cello has a 14 day money back guarantee when the instrument is returned in original condition, less shipping. We simply don't want you to keep anything you don't love. See our Guarantees and Returns page for details.
5. 12 Month Warranty
All of our instruments are warranteed against defects for a full year from purchase. See Guarantees and Returns page for full details.
6. Free Case and Bow with Every Instrument
Eyery instrument price listed includes a case, a bow, and rosin. You can also upgrade your case and bow and save money as you do so. Already have a great bow and don’t need another? Fine! We’ll credit you toward the cost of your instrument. Whatever works…
7. Free Shipping with Every Instrument
Do you love getting "nickeled and dimed?" when you buy something? Neither do we. That's why shipping is included on every purchase.
8. No Interest Payment Plan
On much of our inventory, we offer a No Interest Payment Plan with your major credit card. So, even if you taste is more profound than your checkbook, you may be able to get just what you want, and pay it off at a rate you’re comfortable with, with NO interest charges.
9. Free Essential Accessories
We include rosin and other accessories with your order, free. It's not much, but the little things add up. Generally, the more expensive the instrument, the more Essential Accessoris we can afford to include with your instrument.
10. Try Before You Buy Vintage Instruments
If you are in the market for vintage violins for sale, your best bet is to play a number of them before you choose one! Our Try then Buy program allows you to do just that. Just go to our Vintage section and click on the Try Before You Buy link in the index above for full details.
