Alter's Violin Shop realizes that it is difficult for even a well informed consumer to sort through the vast array of instruments available at both the local level and also via such sources as the internet.  Discerning the country of origin, quality of craftmanship, tone quality, and playability can be very taxing. We dedicate ourselves to doing this work, and sell only instruments which meet our high standards. Not only do we seek to find affordable gems created by modern skilled and reputable workshops, but we also maintain an inventory of quality older instruments.

We welcome you to browse our featured inventory of nice older offerings and visit our supplier links (from the home page) to acquaint yourself with our favorites from the world of new instruments.  All of our instruments are set-up and adjusted for excellence in performance!

WARRANTY AND TRADE-IN INFORMATION

All of our instruments are guaranteed for a period of 2 years. The warranty covers any problems which may crop up with the instrument.   Examples may be an open glue joint, slipping peg, or crack.   The warranty does not cover accidental damage or maintenence items such as the bridge, strings, or horsehair of the bow. While the need is rare for warranty work, rest assured we are here if something should happen!

Our beginning level instruments come with an 80% trade in value, applied to your next instrument purchase.  Instruments beyond the beginning level come with our 100% trade-in value.  In this way, you are assured of retaining your investment if you ever decide to upgrade!

$4500.00 Helmut illner Cello, Germany 2006

This is a new cello from the award winning SIR shop in Germany (as proudly noted on the label). This is a great price, as this is easily a $6000.00 cello. Just like all of our instruments, the set-up work (bridge, soundpost, endpin, strings) was done in our workshop. The cello has Helicore C&G strings and Larsen A&D strings.
