WHY YOU SHOULD PURCHASE YOUR NEXT INSTRUMENT FROM NASHVILLE VIOLINS!

Every instrument goes through our exclusive 36-point check and is set up to play!
 

Most manufacturers and distributors do not set up their violins before shipping them out. The action is left high at the nut, and the bridge, often of low quality, is not fit to the instrument or adjusted into playing condition. Finishing touches to the pegs, fingerboard, soundpost and other adjustments need to be performed. Rarely is a good set of strings included with these unadjusted instruments.

With an instrument in this condition, it is highly unlikely that playing will be an enjoyable experience, and failure is almost guaranteed. A student could expect to pay $50-100 extra for a setup equivalent to what Nashville Violins does for no additional charge!

At Nashville Violins, we carefully inspect each instrument, and perform all necessary adjustments before we send it out. We guarantee you will receive an instrument that not only looks great, but one that will be in a proper playing condition conducive to learning.
Our instruments sound better, because they are adjusted to play better!
