The Long Island Violin Shop

Just like Bigfoot or the Abominable Snowman, the wire edge which comes off when a blade is perfectly sharp is often described but rarely seen. Captured here in living color. #violinshop #liviolinshop #rufinoviolins #violinmaking #violinmaker #lutherie #liutaio #luthier #violin #viola #cello #violinstagram #musicalinstruments #youth orchestra #orchestralmuviolinshop #liviolinshop #violinmaking #violinmaker #lutherie #liutaio #luthier #violin #viola #cello #madeinusa #violinstagram #musicalinstruments #youth orchestra #orchestralmusic #chamberorchestra ##orchestralife #musicteacher #orchestrateachersic #chamberorchestra ##orchestralife #musicteacher #orchestrateacher

A gifted young artist drove a long distance to try some Rufino violas. He chose this wood Charles purchased in 1997 which he is now preparing to create a 16" Soloist viola. Fun and thrilling to start! #violinshop #liviolinshop #rufinoviolins #violinmaking #violinmaker #lutherie #liutaio #luthier #violin #viola #cello #violinstagram #musicalinstruments #youth orchestra #orchestralmuviolinshop #liviolinshop #violinmaking #violinmaker #lutherie #liutaio #luthier #violin #viola #cello #madeinusa #violinstagram #musicalinstruments #youth orchestra #orchestralmusic #chamberorchestra ##orchestralife #musicteacher #orchestrateachersic #chamberorchestra ##orchestralife #musicteacher #orchestrateacher

The tops went onto 2 new Rufino violins today. As soon as the scrolls are finished, the necks can be set. With any luck we can catch some of the fantastic autumn weather for varnishing! #violinshop #liviolinshop #rufinoviolins #violinmaking #violinmaker #lutherie #liutaio #luthier #violin #viola #cello #violinstagram #musicalinstruments #youth orchestra #orchestralmuviolinshop #liviolinshop #violinmaking #violinmaker #lutherie #liutaio #luthier #violin #viola #cello #madeinusa #violinstagram #musicalinstruments #youth orchestra #orchestralmusic #chamberorchestra ##orchestralife #musicteacher #orchestrateachersic #chamberorchestra ##orchestralife #musicteacher #orchestrateacher

This weekend, at our Huntington shop, the sidewalk will be closed from the store next door to us down to New York Ave. from 2pm to 10pm on Saturday and from 8am to 6pm on Sunday due to construction work. Please don't let this deter you from coming into the LIVS. The sidewalk in front of our store will still be open and we will be open for business as usual.
