How to Purchase

The Violin is available from us the list price of US$450, plus a shipping and handling fee of $20 for US orders. Books are sent Priority Mail.
The recent change in US Post Office policy has essentially eliminated surface international parcel post. Therefore, we now ship international orders via International Priority Package mail. This should be much faster, but is unfortunately more expensive. Therefore, postage and handling to Canada and Mexico is now $25, and to "the rest of the world" it is $40.
