Buying guide

Questions buyers ask before they choose

What's the difference between beginner, intermediate and advanced?

Beginner instruments are built for first lessons and school programs, and most come as complete outfits with a case and bow. Intermediate instruments are the step up, with finer tonewoods and more color and projection for youth orchestra and solo repertoire. Advanced and professional instruments are for recitals, auditions and conservatory-level playing.

What size do I need?

Violins and cellos come in fractional sizes for younger players, violas are measured by body length in inches, and basses are sized by fraction. Our sizing guide walks you through it. If you're between sizes, call us before ordering and we'll help you choose.

Is the instrument ready to play when it arrives?

Yes. Every instrument is adjusted and play-tested by our luthiers before it ships, so it arrives with a proper setup. Strings may need a quick retune after travel.

Can I return an instrument?

Yes. Most instruments can be returned within 45 days of delivery. Because of their value and rarity, instruments priced above $3,000 and antique instruments have a 7-day return window from delivery. All returns are subject to the condition requirements and shipping deductions in our returns policy. Consignment instruments may carry individual terms, disclosed at purchase.

Can I pay over time?

Yes. Shop Pay Installments lets you split eligible purchases into monthly payments at checkout, subject to approval.

What happens when my child outgrows it or is ready to step up?

Our trade-up program can apply up to 100% of your original Atelier purchase price toward a higher-level instrument in the same family, after an in-person evaluation. Moving up a fractional size carries a $65 exchange fee.
