One of Gainesville Violins's claims to fame is that we are a niche business that adds considerable value to each and every instrument in our workshop. We don't just grab them from a warehouse or a shelf and ship them like a WalMart. We work on them meticulously (see the "Workshop" page on this website). That is why -
- they sound so great and are so comfortably playable
- we can give a lifetime warranty
- our customers rave (see the "Rental", "Customers" and "Catalog" pages on this website).
All of this takes TIME, EFFORT and EXPERTISE. Therefore we request our customers kindly to please allow us ample time to provide you with an extraordinarily great-sounding instrument produced according to the very best of our ability.
Also, to be fair, we must follow the "First come, first served" principle. Orders are processed and shipped in the order in which they have been received.
Accordingly, please place your order well ahead of the time that you will need it. Please allow up to three weeks, and sometimes even longer, for completion and delivery. (In true emergencies, and for professional players and teachers, we can always make exceptions.)
Thanks so much for understanding!
