Nearly all our customers remain part of the StringWorks family for life
Every violin, viola, and cello receives our signature professional setup—the most comprehensive in the industry. Our master luthiers spend 3-5 hours perfecting each violin and viola, and 5-7 hours on every cello to ensure optimal playability and sound quality.
From beginner instruments to professional models, every StringWorks instrument receives the same meticulous attention. Our StringWorks Setup™ goes far beyond factory standards, delivering an instrument that feels right and sounds exceptional from the moment you play it.
Experience your next instrument with our complimentary 14-day home trial. Play in your familiar spaces, demonstrate for your teacher, and ensure the perfect match for your musical style. Many players request multiple instruments for side-by-side comparison during their trial period.
Each instrument is hand-selected from our global network of trusted workshops, then refined by our skilled luthiers and play-tested by our experienced musicians. This rigorous process ensures every violin, viola, and cello meets our exacting standards for construction quality, tone, and playability.
As a family-owned business, your satisfaction drives everything we do. We back our commitment with a comprehensive limited lifetime guarantee on all instruments. Should any issue arise, we work directly with you to ensure complete satisfaction with your musical investment.
Upgrading your instrument marks an exciting milestone in your musical journey. Our generous trade-in program offers 100% of your original purchase price toward your first upgrade, and 80% value for subsequent trade-ins when upgrading to the same instrument type.
Our team brings decades of playing experience—many with 20+ years on their instruments. This deep musical background enables us to provide personalized recommendations that match your skill level, playing goals, and budget, while ensuring you feel comfortable throughout the selection process.
We set a new standard for string instrument retailers by combining professional expertise with genuine care for your musical journey. At StringWorks, purchasing an instrument is a personal, supportive experience tailored to your unique needs.
StringWorks has earned respect throughout the bowed string instrument industry. We partner with renowned brands including CodaBow, D'Addario, Larsen, Thomastik, Despiau, and New Harmony, ensuring access to the finest accessories and bows to complement your instrument.
