the violin shop

trade guarantee

Trade in your old instrument as your skills develop.

corilon makes sure you get the most from your purchase. Any of our instruments will be accepted later at any time as a trade towards another instrument or bow from our selection. However, the new purchase must be of a greater sales price than the original purchase. We'll credit 100% of the instrument's original sales price towards the upgrade if the instrument has remained in its original and acceptable condition.

What condition is acceptable?

Normal wear to bridge, strings, fingerboard; minor scratches and minor open seams are acceptable. Repairs or damage such as cracks, broken edges/corners, warping, varnish damage, etc., will void the trade guarantee or reduce the trade value at our discretion. To cover the costs of new strings and minor repairs, a reconditioning fee of €75 for violins/violas and of €50 for bows will be charged. We'll keep your old instrument for the 30-day return period to make sure that you are fully happy with your upgrade.

Shipping fees

All shipping fees related to the trade as well as any customs duties/import taxes (applicable if the traded instrument is sent to us from outside the European Union) are the buyers' expense.
