The instruments are treasured by the  students, who gain a great appreciation for our history. Although the basic elements of the violin family have remained the same, changes made to the instruments over the past 500 years have made them more ameniable to large spaces where sound projection is needed such as in large public spaces, Churches and concert halls.

OUR GOAL

 

Is to find the best instrument for each student or patron and then to match that instrument with the best bow. This process entails time and effort in playing each instrument and then trying various bows. The more advanced the student is the more carefully the process must be considered. Not every instrument is appropriate for every student. The personality of the student and the instrument's temperment are crucial factors to be considered.
