Instruments and Bows

Montero J. Montero Violins carries a broad range of instruments from student level to professional quality. We invite you to visit our shop to play on any of the instruments that we offer from a variety of workshops. We specialize in instruments starting at a few hundred dollars. The workshops that we represent are among the many that produce high quality instruments and we offer them at a great price! We work closely with our partner workshops and distributors to procure the best instruments for our clients.

“Do you have anything cheaper? I just want to get my child something that is inexpensive. I see instruments on the internet for far less.” 

If finances are an issue with purchasing an instrument, then we suggest renting one. For the same price or better, you will receive an instrument that is properly set up, which will be easier for your child to play. Having bad equipment from the start will ensure that your child struggles with learning a new instrument.  In any field, success depends on the quality of tools we use. You cannot run a marathon in heavy ski boots. This same analogy applies to playing an instrument. When you rent an instrument, you may use your lease credit towards the purchase of your very own instrument, so a good portion of the equity that you accumulate is not wasted in the renting process.  

While most instruments come 'shop adjusted' from the workshop, we set-up each of our instruments to insure peak performance. This is done to ensure you leave with an instrument that is both structurally and tonally ready for you.  All instruments and bows purchased at our shop may be traded in at 100% towards an instrument of higher value barring no cosmetic or structural damage.  Items requiring repair will be deducted from your trade credit.
