SET UPS

Learning to play a stringed instrument is a challenging endeavor. Quality instruments with the correct setup will make a substantial difference in a beginner’s ability to develop strong fundamental technique. Set-up includes planing the fingerboard, fitting the pegs, acoustically cutting the bridge, fitting the sound post, and installing top quality strings on a Whittner tailpiece that has four built-in fine tuners.

A special note to teachers:

Whether you are a classroom teacher or a private instructor we want to help you maximize your teaching efforts, by placing the best possible instrument in your students’ hands. Our set-ups start your student off with a better sound. We have instruments for sale and we have programs for upgrading and renting instruments. Additionally, we stock bows, cases, strings and other accessories. Come in and meet us, or feel free to call at your convenience, we want to work with you!
