Try Violins, Violas, Cellos, or Bows from Anywhere

Finding the right instrument or bow is a personal journey—but you don’t have to be in our shop to experience it. Our Virtual Instrument or Bow Trial brings the expertise of Payton Violins to you, no matter where you are. Through a live video consultation, we’ll guide you in selecting your perfect violin, viola, cello, or bow based on your playing style, tonal preferences, and goals.

What to Expect During Your Virtual Trial

✔ One-on-One Consultation – We start by discussing your musical background, preferences, and what you're looking for in an instrument or bow.

✔ Live Playthrough & Sound Demonstration – Our expert staff will demonstrate a selection of instruments and bows, playing passages across different styles so you can hear their unique tonal qualities.

✔ Side-by-Side Comparisons – Want to hear the difference between two bows? Curious about how one violin projects compared to another? We’ll showcase multiple options in real time.

✔ Expert Insights on Craftsmanship & Materials – Learn about each instrument’s construction, tonewoods, and playability so you can make an informed decision.

✔ Home Trial Option – After your virtual session, we offer a no-obligation home trial for select instruments and bows. We’ll ship your top choices so you can test them in your own space before making a decision.
