Student instruments are a great introduction to music. Aspiring musicians can develop basic skills and playing technique at an affordable price point. However, student instruments are NOT suited for advanced players and dedicated musicians. Continuing to play on a student instrument can actually prevent aspiring musicians from developing proper tone and playing technique needed for their playing to advance. If your student is quickly advancing and shows interest and ambition in music, investing in a pro-level instrument is a necessity.

Master Luthiers – We are a family and employee run business, we value the people that make us whole. Our master luthiers, through their commitment to the craft, that the finest instruments can be sculpted with care and precision.
Antiqued Oil Varnish – Just as it is important to properly age wood, a good finish takes time. Our multi-layered oil varnish is patiently hand-applied over several months, leading to enhanced tonal characteristics and rich appearance. Our varnish shop then meticulously follows an antiquing process, creating a unique look for each violin.

We now carry performance-level instruments by these quality brands:
The snare drum or side drum is a percussion instrument that produces a sharp staccato sound when the head is struck with a drum stick, due to the use of a series of stiff wires held under tension against the lower skin. Snare drums are often used in orchestras, concert bands, marching bands, parades, drumlines, drum corps, and more. It is one of the central pieces in a drum set, a group of several drums, and cymbals that one player uses.
The alto saxophone (referred to colloquially as the alto sax) is the second highest instrument in a family of woodwind instruments usually made of brass and played with a single-reed mouthpiece.[2] Although most saxophones are made from brass, they are categorized as woodwind instruments, because sound is produced by an oscillating reed (traditionally made out of woody cane) rather than lips vibrating in a mouthpiece cup as with the brass instrument family.
