Every Labor Day, Shar Music marks down thousands of items across our catalog — and this year's sale reaches up to 65% off. Whether you're a student starting a new school year, a teacher restocking your studio, or a player who's been waiting for the right moment to upgrade, this is the best pricing we offer outside of the holidays.
What's on sale. The Labor Day Sale spans nearly every category we carry: violins, violas, cellos and basses; sheet music, method books and ensemble scores; strings for all four instruments; cases and bags; rosin, shoulder rests, and learning aids; plus bridges, tailpieces, pegs and other repair parts. Browse by category using the sections above, or shop everything at once through Shop All Deals.
A note for teachers and school families. Labor Day lands right as lessons resume, which is why we time this sale for early September. If you're outfitting a beginning student, the instrument outfits include everything needed to start playing — instrument, bow, case, and rosin. If you're a teacher placing a larger order for your studio or program, our school team can help: schools@sharmusic.com.
Shar Music has served string players since 1962 from our Ann Arbor, Michigan showroom. Every instrument we ship is inspected and set up by our workshop before it leaves the building, and everything is backed by our 30-Day Guarantee. Sale prices are available while supplies last.
The sale covers select products across most of our catalog: instruments and outfits, sheet music and method books, strings, cases, rosin, shoulder rests, learning aids, metronomes and tuners, and repair parts such as bridges, tailpieces and pegs. Not every item in every category is discounted — the collections linked above show exactly what's included.
Sale pricing runs while supplies last. Quantities on some items are limited, and once a discounted item sells out it may not be restocked at the sale price. If there's something you've been waiting on, we'd suggest not leaving it until the last day.
Yes. Orders over $49 shipped to the contiguous 48 states ship free, and that threshold is based on your discounted total. Oversized items are excluded from free shipping, and digital downloads and gift certificates don't count toward the $49 minimum. Expedited options (Next Day and 2 Day) are available at checkout if you order before 12pm ET.
In-stock items ship the next business day when your order is placed by 2pm ET, Monday through Friday excluding holidays. Standard shipping typically arrives in 2 to 10 business days depending on your location. Backordered items ship as soon as they arrive. If you're local, you can also choose pickup at our Ann Arbor showroom.
Yes — our 30-Day Guarantee applies to sale purchases, including instruments, bows and outfits. Items returned in like-new condition with original packaging within 30 days receive a full refund or credit; items showing use or wear are subject to a 30% restocking fee. Return shipping is the customer's responsibility. Special orders, installed strings, and opened electronic media can't be returned. Everything is also guaranteed free of defects in materials and workmanship for one year.
