Mine is a rental from the luthier, its price is around 2’000CHF (it’s like 2’200USD). However, I pay a set amount every 6 months and if I were to buy it, he will decrease what I’ve paid so far from the actual price! Well from what I’ve researched online, there are cheap and terrible violins out there… but it depends, as I responded to someone before, I saw a violinist with a $400 something violin and it sounded good! So I think it varies from which source you’re buying it from and the materials used!
