We sell a great amount of instruments overseas. You can listen to any of our instruments. Just write a note at checkout that you want a demo. Include what you want to hear, otherwise I'll just play on every string a bit, scales, double stops...... Also, include that you would like to approve it before we ship.
If you give us a call, we may be able to give you a special deal, depending on the instrument, to make up for the shipping.
Also, we guarantee satisfaction, so if you are not satisfied, you'll only loose the shipping costs. Unfortunately we can do more than that with international orders. I suggest the "Fiddlerman Artist" violin. The whole outfit is nice.
