Shopping for a beginner violin? – How to buy a violin online

Why beginners should consider purchasing a student violin online.

When it comes to making online purchases, string instruments do not readily come to mind, right? It’s not like you go to Amazon and say to yourself, “I wonder what kind of violin deals they’ve got going on today.” No, typically, someone looking to purchase a violin or a bow will prefer to visit the local violin shop and try it out “live.” Get to know the instrument and ask questions at the shop before taking it home.

But what if you’re a beginner getting ready for your first foray into the thrilling and possibly daunting world of string instruments? How do you even know what to look for? What if there isn’t a shop nearby? What to do?

Well, at Dolce Violins, we’ve fully considered this and we have a solution that makes it rather easy to purchase a high-quality beginner violin at a price point that fits your budget. We not only take the stress out of purchasing a violin online, we provide expert guidance before, during and after you place your order.

So, here are a few things to consider before you begin:

Violin Outfits

– We recommend purchasing a violin outfit if a student is just getting started or is in the early stages of playing the violin. While more advanced players typically purchase instruments, bows, strings and cases a la carte, an outfit is probably the best way to go if you are looking for a beginner violin.

You may be wondering what a violin outfit is? At Dolce Violins, our violin outfit includes a high-quality student violin, a wood or carbon fiber bow, a hard shell case (not an inferior, poorly made foam product), a shoulder rest, rosin and a cleaning cloth.

Your next question may be, “How do I know if I’m really purchasing a well-made student violin and comparable accessories? At Dolce Violins, we make no compromises when it comes to our outfits.

Here is what you can expect from our violins:

· Hand-made with aged tonewood
· Ebony fingerboard
· Ebony tuning pegs
· Ebony chin rest
· Hand-applied traditional Italian varnish (not inferior, sprayed-on lacquer)
· High-quality American or European-made strings
In addition, every violin we send is carefully inspected and professionally set up by our luthiers to make sure the instrument is in excellent condition and ready for students to enjoy to the fullest.
If you would rather order the components individually (ala carte), instead of an outfit, just give us a call and I or one of my highly skilled associates will select the instrument, strings, bow and case and shoulder rest that we think best fit a particular student’s requirements.

2) Violins Outfits to Fit Your Budget

– We understand that a high-end violin is not necessary for most students who are beginners or intermediate players. We recommend a nice-sounding instrument with a good, quality bow at a price point that fits your budget. And we’ve got you covered with beginner violin outfits starting as low as $720! Please visit our page entitled The Best Student Violins to view our current selection of instruments.

3) Trying Out a Different Violin/Returns

– We’re in the business of placing the right instruments into our customers’ hands. To that end, we’re here to advise you about violins, bows, strings and cases so that you don’t have to worry about whether or not you’re making the right choice. We also encourage new students to play their instrument for their teacher to ensure that they have a good “fit.”

If we don’t succeed at first in finding the right outfit to accommodate a student’s (or the teacher’s) preferences, then you can return the outfit (or component) and we can select another one to send out.

4) It’s Truly Risk-Free

– If, after 30 days, you think that an instrument (or outfit) we sent you is not the right choice, go ahead and send it back for a full refund. And … we pay the shipping both ways! If you decide to order a new outfit, the same shipping policy applies. Click on our Return Policy to view more details on returns and shipping.
