PRICING, TERMS AND WARRANTY

At Cajun Fiddles, we take pride in the care and attention we give to each and every instrument created. Because of this, we build approximately 10 to 12 fiddles a year, one at a time.

Our violins (fiddles) are priced at $3,000.00 plus shipping and handling. This price does not include the bow or the case.

Please read our terms and warranty below.

WARRANTY

• I can provide reasonable pricing on cases and bows, but since they are not made by me I do not warranty them.
• Warranty on instrument applies only to original purchaser and warranties the instrument to be free of defects in material and construction for 3 years.
• Warranty does not cover strings. Warranty on pegs, tailpieces, and endpins are limited to one year. Bridges are covered by warranty for three months.
• Damage caused to instrument by exposure to excessive heat, cold, dryness, or moisture is considered to be neglect and misuse and is not covered by warranty.
• Any repair or attempt to repair the instrument  by customer, or another shop voids this warranty
• Instrument adjustment is not covered by this warranty. Normal wear caused by normal use of items is not covered by warranty.
• Please note violins made at Cajun Fiddles are made using traditional hide glue, and because of the nature of hide glue openings in an instrument’s seams are common and are covered for the warranty period.
• Wood by its very nature reacts to sudden changes in temperature and humidity. To avoid seam openings and cracks caused by extreme or sudden changes in temperature or humidity protect your instrument by maintaining a humidity level of 40% to 60%, and a temperature level of 50-90 degrees Fahrenheit. Cajun Fiddle violins are stable at 40% humidity and cracks or seam openings to the violin are NOT covered by warranty as they are caused by improper care.
