What We Offer:
Personalized Music Lessons:
Our private lessons in mandolin, violin, viola, and other stringed instruments are tailored to each student’s individual needs. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills, our experienced instructors are here to guide you.
Group Classes:
Join our group sessions for beginner mandolin, Celtic music, or introductory fiddle. These classes foster a collaborative learning environment, where you can connect with fellow musicians while learning.
Instrument Rentals:
We offer rentals for the instruments we teach, including mandolins, violins, violas, and mandocellos. Our flexible rental options ensure access to quality instruments for students and performers alike.
Instrument, Sales:
Our CEO, Adam Sweet, has many years' experience in the music sales industry, initially working at violin shops in the north east, as well as owning a luthier supply business himself. He and his wife Emily visit China once or twice a year on buying contracts for customers. The following are just some of the products and services he provides through his personal blog:
- Looking to purchase your own instrument? We offer a curated selection of mandolins, violins and violas, including specialized 5-string models.
- Custom-built unfinished violins, violas and cellos can be acquired on contract.
- We import hand-made bows from Arcos Brasil and Horst John in Brazil, as well as carry the odd American-made bow.
- We can recommend accessories like strings, cases, tuners, to complement your instrument. These items are available at your local music store or online and are quite affordable. We like D'Addario and Optima strings, Fender electronic tuners and Bobelock cases. We don't get a commission from the sale of any of these.
Luthier Supplies:
- Since 1999, we’ve been supplying high-quality bow hair, coinciding with our first trip to China.
- In 2009, we expanded our offerings to include materials like hide glue,
- tonewood,
- and unfinished instruments.
