 | Sales Henry Bischofberger Violins has a wide selection of fine stringed instruments and bows. Henry says, "When I acquire instruments to sell in my shop, I demand the utmost quality, and the dealers I have used for the past 20 years are still serving me with quality in mind. " |
 | Appraisals If you are curious about the value of your violin, viola, cello, bass or bow, feel free to bring your instrument in for a complimentary verbal appraisal. If you need papers for insurance or a written appraisal the cost is based on the value of the instrument. With many years experience in appraising, Henry can give an educated and informed valuation of your instrument or bow. |
 | Repairs To last a lifetime, a fine instrument needs periodic maintenance and occasional repairs. Especially for students who are first learning to play, an instrument in good repair can make all the difference in the enjoyment of learning. |
 | Rentals Rentals are the stepping stone, especially for young musicians, to continue playing beyond school. Starting out with a quality instrument is paramount to enjoying the learning experience. |

| Karen Chapman I have had the great pleasure of knowing Henry for 7 years. Over that time we have purchased instruments and bows as well as having repair work done. His expert knowledge has enabled us to select the perfect instrument and bows for our daughter. We were never rushed into making a decision and at all times were shown the utmost courtesy and kindness. To have a professional violin maker on the Eastside is wonderful. To have that person be Henry is even better. I would never dream of going anywhere else. |
| Joyce Ramee, Co-Director of The Max Aronoff Viola Institute We put on the Aronoff Chamber Music Festival and Series at Bastyr University each June. I feel Henry Bischofberger is one of a few really reputable instrument dealers in the area. I am a private violin and viola instructor and in the Spring I gave a master workshop for viola students and teachers at Henry Bischofberger Violins and will continue again next Spring. |
