Fein Stringed Instruments Trade-in Policy for Violins, Violas, and Cellos

 
   

FeinViolins.com Trade-in Policy

Trade-in from other stores:
We will honor the same rental credit and Trade-in credit you would get from Claire Givens, Quinn Violins, Groth Music, House of Note, and other stores. We often take these instruments in trade; Eastman, Rudoulf Doetsch, Ivan Dunov, Wilhelm Klier, Scott Cao, Franz Werner, Klaus Mueller, Carlo Lamberti, Sofia, Wm. Lewis, Knilling, and more. Please call us for details at 651.228.0783 or 1.800.347.9172.

If Trade-in was purchased from our store:
When you trade in an instrument, bow, or outfit that you have purchased from us, to be used towards the purchase of an instrument made by Riva, Costa, or D. Albert:

  • To receive a 100% trade-in value, the second purchase must be of greater value than the items being traded in.  The purchase price of the trade-in items, excluding sales tax, shipping, and accessories, will be fully applied towards the second purchase. 

  • The trade-in will apply to the full or original purchase price. Any discounts will be deducted after the trade-in is deducted from the full original price.

  • Only one trade-in can be applied per purchase.  The Instrument, bow, and case must remain in good condition. Any dents, large scratches, cracks, or other damage will diminish the trade-in value. Bridges, sound-posts, fingerboards, pegs, bow hair, strings, and other parts, must be properly maintained.  Please periodically review the care sheets on bows and instruments we gave you when you purchased your instrument, to ensure that you are maintaining your instrument properly. Strings should be changed about every twelve months.  Please remove any and all decals, stickers, tapes, and other markings from the instrument, case, and bow before trading them in. Also, please vacuum out your case to remove any rosin chips, cat hair, and other objects.

Mailing your trade-in instrument

  • If you are trading in another instrument towards your purchase, the following procedure applies:

  • The order is placed over the phone with trade-in value calculated

  • We send you the instrument, charging for the price of the instrument minus trade-in credits and discounts.  After receiving the instrument from us, try it out for a couple days.

  • If you are certain you would like to keep it:  Pack up the trade-in instrument, using the same box if possible.

  •  Shipping charges for the shipping of trade-in instruments are the responsibility of the customer.

  • We are able to arrange the UPS pickup for you, and add the price of shipping to your invoice. Many times, this service is much less expensive than other methods.
