Perrin & Associates Fine Violins was established in Baltimore in 1994 with a vision to provide violins, violas, cellos, and repair and restoration services to the professional and aspiring musician. We strive to create an environment where all string players feel comfortable talking with us about their instruments, auditioning instruments and bows, discussing repair options, and trying out new accessories. We have a wide range of instruments on hand, from wonderful historical examples to outstanding instruments by great modern makers and quality instruments for the beginner.

Report
Since stringed instruments are created from wood, which is resonant and breathing even after becoming a violin, viola or cello, they can experience changes with the seasons and varying levels of humidity in the air. An occasional re-positioning or re-tensioning of the sound post will solve many of the issues that arise with response or quality of sound.
Accessories
Report
Our fittings are available in a variety of wood choices, including ebony, rosewood, boxwood and pernambuco, as well as some more unusual tropical hardwoods. Chinrests are stocked in a wide variety of styles, since the chinrests can have a large influence on comfort. Tailpieces may be wood or composite, and they also can alter sound significantly.
Rentals
Report
Perrin & Associates is pleased to offer a rental program to meet the needs of music students and teachers who require an instrument of exceptional quality. To encourage the student to learn proper technique from the beginning and provide a more enjoyable learning experience, our instruments are adjusted to the highest standards for optimum sound and playability.

Report
After you play your instrument, use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe dirt and rosin off. A microfiber cloth works quite well. Unfortunately, rosin will eventually coat the surface of the top and fingerboard anyway. At this point, it is time to have it cleaned by a professional who will use a mild solvent and the appropriate polish.
