The Violin Shoppe

12/20/2025

There are only a few days left to pick out the perfect gift for your favorite music lovers! If you’re hoping to come see us at The Violin Shoppe in the next couple weeks, here are our holiday hours.

Wednesday Dec. 24th - Open 11-2
Dec. 25th and 26th - CLOSED
Wednesday Dec. 31st - Open 11-2
Thursday January 1st - CLOSED

For repair needs - our luthier will be away for the holidays and will return January 14th. If you have immediate need of a repair, we can do small things like changing strings, chin rests, tailpieces, or resetting sound posts. Bow re-hairs or repairing damage to an instrument or bow will have to wait until our luthier returns, but we are happy to recommend a shop to go to if you have an urgent repair.

We hope your holidays are filled with warmth, family, good food, and music of course!
