About Vivace Violin

Violin, Viola, Cello and Double Bass - Fine Stringed Instrument Sales, Repair, Restoration, and Accessories

Vivace Violin has been set up by a team of highly experienced makers, restorers and players with the aim of supplying high quality fine instruments, bows and accessories over the internet.

All of the items we offer for sale have been fully and professionally setup in our workshops and are covered by our exclusive 30 day guarantee.

We have tried to make the site as 'user friendly' as possible and to include a good level of detail for all of the items we sell. If you would like more detail on any item offered, however, please do not hesitate to get in touch and we will gladly answer any questions that you might have.

 

We can tailor any of our instruments to suit so if you have a preferrence for strings, bridge height, chinrest, or anything else for that matter, just let us know and we will do our best to accomodate.  Strings are new on all of the instruments we offer for sale and have been chosen on the basis of suitability for the particular instrument offered.

Making your Purchase

We accept most major credit cards as well as bank transfer for higher value items - giving both you and us a greater degree of security. We also utilise technologies such as VISA and Mastercards' 3D Secure system which, combined with 128bit and 256bit encryption, ensure that transactions on our site are safe and risk free.

We are happy to advise and help with your choice of instrument but also recognise that, in the end, only you will be able to make a proper judgement as to how well an instrument suits your playing style. Hence our unique 30 day money back guarantee ensures that you can purchase an instrument or bow safe in the knowledge that, should it not be for you, it can be returned for a full refund of the purchase price. All we ask is that you cover the cost of shipping and insurance, and that it is returned in the same condition as it was dispatched.

Something to Sell?

We welcome the opportunity to sell instruments or bows on a commission basis but must have physical receipt of the item before we can offer a full appraisal and evaluation. Please email us in the first instance, with photos if at all possible, and we can then give you an indication of suitability as well as send you details of our commission scheme.

Our Education Programme

We offer a highly innovative and unique programme for schools and local authorities that allows for both the acquisition and maintenance of instruments for a specified term. This aims to remove the administrative burden of managing and maintaining a pool of instruments, as well as transfering costs from capital to operational budgets. The scheme caters for all levels of student and has proved a very popular 'pain free' alternative to traditional models. Full details are available on request. Please note that at present this scheme is currently only available to qualifying educational establishments.
