High Strung Violins
We carry a wide selection of new and used violins,
violas and cellos
. All of our entry level and most of our
intermediate level instruments come as a complete
package: instrument, bow, case or bag, rosin and
cleaning cloth. Better quality cases and bows are always
available as an upgrade.

Every instrument, regardless of its price, gets the same
professional set-up by Edmond "Bud" Godreau, our
resident bowed-string luthier. At High Strung, we feel
passionately that
beginners need an instrument that
is easy to play
and sounds its best. There's nothing
worse than trying to learn the complexities of violin on an
instrument that's fighting you.  Bud has worked in violin
building and restoration for thirty years. (If he can't fix it, it
probably isn't broken!)  

Our instruments and bows are selected by
Christine and
Lee from vendors who visit the shop several times a year
with their wares. If we don't like it, we won't buy it.

Our close relationship with Durham and Chapel Hill
strings teachers ensures that we stock high quality small
violins that meet their standards. We are proud to help
support the many wonderful strings programs offered
through the public and private schools in our area.
