New and Used Orchestra Instruments

As a family-owned music store that sells instruments and musical equipment, we have an extensive selection of new and used orchestra instruments for sale. What you will find at Dirt Cheep is a nice selection of new and used string instruments like violins, violas, cellos, and the accessories needed to play them, which include bows, string sets, and cases.

If you’re looking for something suitable for private lessons or for your school orchestra commitment, we will save you money compared to the high cost of renting. And if you’re just getting started and are not sure what piece of new or used orchestra equipment you should choose, we can help you find an instrument that will work for you.

Browse our selection of new and used orchestra equipment online today—or step into our shop. You can also order items online for in-store pickup. Our inventory of certified used orchestra instruments is constantly changing, so check back in often!
