*** In January of 2020, our small workshop in Wichita celebrated sixty-seven years of service to professional, amateur and student musicians.

 We employ thirteen highly skilled full-time workers and enjoy, we’re happy to report, a sterling reputation for top-quality restoration and ethical transactions. We are not amateurs, nor are we a “back bedroom” operation. We would be pleased to furnish you with references attesting to the above.

COME VISIT US! Shopping for a good professional-quality violin? We always have a selection of better instruments from the best European workshops. We're particularly fond of "old French" from the early 20th. century. Strong voices, brilliant tonal qualities perfectly suited to orchestral and solo playing.
