Services
Shop Tour
Report
The main shop has an extensive collection of fine violins, violas, cellos and basses, plus an occasional mandolin, guitar or banjo. You'll also find a collection of bows in all price ranges. Our customers love to come in and try our instruments in our showroom. The room is live enough to reveal the richness of the instrument's tone yet large enough to test its carrying quality. We carry a large selection of accessories as well: strings, rosin, shoulder pads - everything you need to be well-outfitted.
Repairs and Appraisals
Report
We do expert repairs on all stringed instruments, and our setups bring your instrument to its highest performance level. We do appraisals for insurance purposes at reasonable rates. The shop keeps an extensive collection of reference materials to aid in identifying instruments, but our real expertise comes from years of travel and study.

Here are a few tidbits about this wonderful instrument. It is now agreed that the first violin as we know it today was created by Andrea Amati born about 1535 died after 1611, in Cremona, Italy.
