We have two Ray Melanson Cellos in, each with their own voice. Ray Melanson is one of the fantastic contemporary makers whose work we have in. Make an appointment to stop in to try them out today!

Check out some highlights from our recent Wine & Instrument Tasting Fundraiser for ROCmusic. We enjoyed being able to collaborate with so many different musicians and organizations to make this event possible!

On a cool fall morning, it was a good time to get to work straightening a bow. I use a flame to warm the wood and make it more pliable in order to remove a slight warp. Don't try this at home folks!

Exciting beginnings!

Awesome to see Buffalo String Works, a program for Buffalo City School children, finding a way to make it work! Good job!

Peter Kodzas talks about how the Eastman Community Music School is moving forward with lessons this fall. So wonderful that students can take lessons virtually or in person this fall with great teachers!

We just learned of this beautiful video of Samantha Rodriguez playing on her Ken Sullivan viola. Samantha plays ARVO PÄRT Spiegel im Spiegel (1978) with acclaimed pianist,Henry Kramer, staring at minute 2:19 through minute 12. Great job to the Lake Area Music Festival for a terrific production during Covid! https://www.facebook.com/LakesAreaMusic/videos/237345430727955/
