Fine instruments and bows

Welcome to our bottega

Being musicians ourselves, we know what to look for in an instrument. It is our passion to find violins, violas, cellos, double basses and bows that don't just look beautiful, but that sound and feel great as well.
Did you know that BOTTEGA is the Italian word to describe 'shop or workshop of a refined artist and his pupils'?
This is where we find most of our treasures.
May we help you find your next favorite instrument?

If the returned instrument or bow isn’t in the original condition, the cost of the damage will be deducted.
When returning an instrument or bow, please contact us first to receive full shipping instructions. 
 
The return policy does not apply in the following cases:
