Cost Saving 80% Trade in Policy
We've all been there! Your child decides to take up a sport or project.
You go out and purchase all the required equipment . A short time later later, your child needs an upgrade. After a while a whole lot of "stuff" piles up. In order to alleviate this
problem, we have set up our trade in policy. When your child out grows their instrument or requires a better quality instrument in order to progress in their studies, Hill's will use your
original instrument as trade in credit towards the new instrument. Simply stated, our trade policy is 80% of the instrument's sale value less the cost of any repairs that are required to
bring it back up to our high standards prior to resale. This is a perfect solution for a parent whose young child is just starting out with the violin or other stringed instrument
and is certain to outgrow it several times before finally reaching that final instrument!
Stringed Instrument Repairs
V.A. Hill Fine Strings Ltd. is noted for our highly qualified staff of in-house luthiers. Their training qualifies them to work on all types of orchestral string instruments. Whether you are in need of a simple bridge repair or require a complete restoration, we're here to help! For over 10 years now, almost all of our luthiers have been graduates of the violin making course in Nottinghamshire England. This course, a four year full time program, is the equivalent of a university education in violin and other orchestral stringed instruments. Our customer repairs are done in a timely manner and seldom go beyond the anticipated finish date. Many of our customers have their instrument repairs completed prior to the promised date. We pride ourselves in keeping up to date with promises we have made.
