About Us

Our Values

At Violin Shop Tampa, we are committed to honesty, integrity, and a deep love for music. We provide truthful perspectives and opinions on potential instruments, ensuring that every recommendation is made with transparency. Our integrity means we uphold consistency in how we conduct business, always staying true to our word. Above all, we share a genuine passion for music and the instruments that bring people together, fostering a community built on trust and appreciation for the art of sound.

Our Mission

Honesty, integrity and a love for music drives us to all things classical strings, and by making your needs our needs, we strive to help you find an instrument you love so you can love your music. 

About Us

We know you want to be a skilled, lifelong musician. In order to do that, you need a better quality instrument that will support your advancing skill level. The problem is, it’s hard to find someone (besides your teacher) to find the right instrument that will help you grow to the next level which makes you feel frustrated.

Being limited by something you can’t control - like an instrument you’ve outgrown - isn’t fun. We believe you should be able to experience your full potential as a musician, not be limited by your instrument. We understand what it feels like to be limited in your expression and musicianship by the wrong instrument for you.

Every single one of us at Violin Shop Tampa is an orchestral musician who is actively playing, teaching or both. Our staff has over 250 years of combined experience playing their instruments, and we also have an in-store workshop with three trained violin makers who have over 90 years of combined luthier experience. We’re here to help you find the perfect instrument for you and to help you keep it maintained and sounding amazing.
