violin - When our founding officers searched for the best available instruments for this purpose, we found that no instrument lines currently available fulfilled all our high criteria - exceptional sound, high quality workmanship, uniqueness of appearance, specifications meeting or exceeding those set by MENC, ease of playing, and lastly, affordability. We decided that in order to assure that we could supply these instruments to our customers, we had to design and manufacture them ourselves. The current StringWorks instrument lines are the result of over 5 years of research and development, and we are so confident in their superior quality that we offer a guarantee that you will not find a better student instrument at a better price anywhere. We also offer a guarantee for workmanship for the useable life on all our instruments. See our Comments page to hear what our customers have been saying about our instruments. StringWorks incorporated in 1997 to concentrate on the development of the instrument lines and programs within. StringWorks, Inc. is a family owned and operated company with offices in Wisconsin and California and Representatives throughout the U.S. and Canada.
violin - Our founders, all of whom have earned professional or graduate degrees in music, are still dedicated to continuing this focus of providing the finest instruments and the finest service with the support of our exclusive network of Representative Locations. The most important aspect of our company are the professionals representing it - in addition to the expertise obtained through our founding officers, all of our Representatives are fully qualified as teachers and/or performers in the violin family. At StringWorks, we do not sell accessories such as strings, music stands, and shoulder rests as we prefer to concentrate our efforts entirely on the continuing improvement of our instruments to assure our customers that they are purchasing the finest instruments with the most comprehensive guarantee and customer service available worldwide. If you are looking for instrument accessories, please feel free to contact us for our recommendations on where best to purchase them. StringWorks instruments, unlike nearly all current student instrument lines, were designed by professional musicians over a five year period - resulting in the highest quality tone, playability, woods, and workmanship. Nowhere else will you find instruments of this calibre that can be purchased as an outfit starting at less than $400.00, and what other company feels so confident about their instruments that they FULLY GUARANTEE that you will not find anything better? Unlike many student instruments, each instrument we make and sell has unique characteristics and its own personality rather than appearing just exactly the same as another. In addition, all of our instruments are solid, hand carved European woods of high quality - no plywood, no laminates, no machine setup.
violin - I marvel that StringWorks cares so much about offering high quality instruments at such affordable prices to people like myself. In our fast-paced, get-rich society, this is not what a customer usually gets from a company. We usually pay high prices and receive questionable quality. I applaud you for the wonderful service you are providing to so many people interested in developing their musical talents. You are truly a blessing to the musical world! " - L.W.
