Walk-in (Without Appointment) Shop Hours:
Monday-Thursday 1-6pm.

Appointments for other times/days available; please call.

NOTE that we are CLOSED Fridays thru Sundays
(except by special appointment) in order to devote
ourselves to the workshop.

General: From time to time we travel to certain locations in order to serve our customers there. We take with us various instruments and accessories. Below is our Schedule. If there is sufficient interest and needs in other locations, a teacher is welcome to invite us to their studio or another suitable venue to meet with customers or potential customers and to show them our instruments. Just contact us by email to make the necessary arrangements. We gladly do the same for orchestras and orchestra directors.

Please Note: Dates may be changed at the last moment, so please keep on checking the Schedule and remember to hit your "Refresh" botton.

Please e-mail us or call us well ahead of time if you want us to bring you a specific instrument or accessory. Please enquire by phone or e-mail if you feel uncertain about our schedule or need more information.

Turnaround time for orders

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!
