Music Basics understands its customers' needs to upgrade an instrument.
Whether you are a student, serious amateur, or professional player, there comes
a time when you have outgrown your instrument. With Trade-In Guarantee,
you can trade in for the same or greater value viola outfit. You get
- 100% credit when trading in for a greater
value viola outfit
- 70% credit when trading in for the same value viola
outfit
The following is a list of viola outfits that come with Trade-In Guarantee.
(These viola outfits also come with 10-Day Money Back Guarantee.
For details, please click on the link Viola
10-Day Money Back Guarantee.)
The Trade-In Guarantee
allows young
students who have outgrow their smaller size violas to get bigger sizes and viola
players who
have advanced beyond their instruments to get better violas. This
Guarantee provides upgrading at only a fraction of the cost of buying a new viola
outfit.
You can trade-in a viola outfit in 1 year, 2 years or as many
years as you want. We will honor the guarantee no matter how many years you have used the
viola outfit. You can trade-in a viola outfit for another viola outfit
(regardless of the size and brand) as long as the new viola outfit's value is
of equal or greater value than the original purchase price of the viola outfit
being traded in. You trade in the whole outfit (including viola, bow and
case) and get credit for the whole outfit, not just the viola itself.
Here are examples of how trade-in credit is calculated.
100% CREDIT WHEN TRADING IN FOR A BETTER
MODEL AND GREATER
VALUE VIOLA OUTFIT
Let's say you purchase a new 16" size viola outfit (with trade-in
guarantee) that costs $500. 1 to 2 years later, your playing skill
requires a better viola that would respond better to the more demanding pieces
you are working on. Since you have no need for the current viola outfit anymore, you can
trade it in for a new better viola outfit.
The credit on the current viola outfit that gets applied to the new viola outfit is calculated by taking the original purchase
price minus a recondition fee of $55 for the viola, bow, and case.
Since you bought the current viola outfit at
$500, the credit is $500 - $55 = $445. Let's say the new viola outfit is
$1000, you will only need to pay $1000 - $445 = $555 and you get a much better brand new
viola outfit.

* If the viola outfit traded back has major damages, such
as cracks or chipped corners on the viola, a repair fee will be assessed and applied and you will get a smaller credit to be applied to the
new viola outfit. If the damage is beyond reasonable repair, Music Basics
reserves the right to not honor the Trade-In Guarantee.

100% OR 70% CREDIT WHEN TRADING IN FOR
BIGGER SIZE VIOLA
Music Basics works very closely with schools and
teachers hence we understand the problems parents face when buying violas for their children. Buying a good
viola will become a waste when that size becomes too small. With the Trade-In Guarantee, you get to use a
terrific viola without having to worry about what to do with it once it becomes too small.
Let's say you purchase a new 14" size viola outfit (with trade-in
guarantee) for your
child that costs $400. 1 to 2 years later, your child will need a 15" size viola.
Since you have no need for the 14" size viola anymore, you can trade-in the 14" size for the
15".
The credit on the 14" size that gets applied to the 15" can be calculated 2
ways.
- If the 15" size viola outfit is of the same
model or same
value (also $400), then the credit is calculated by taking 70% of the original purchase
price minus a recondition fee of $55 for the viola, bow, and case.

- If the 15" size viola outfit is of a better
model and greater
value (let's say $600), then the credit is calculated the same way as the
above example on trading up to a greater value viola outfit: the original purchase
price minus a recondition fee of $55 for the viola, bow, and case.
