About Us

Atelier String Shop, established in 1994, is a premier string instrument business located in Cos Cob (Greenwich) and Norwalk, Connecticut. Our new owner, with over 40 years in the music products industry and a background as a professional musician, is dedicated to maintaining the shop's legacy of quality and exceptional service. His extensive travels and long-standing relationships with manufacturers worldwide have expanded our Violin Shop's inventory beyond Eastern Europe, providing access to exceptional instruments from across the globe.
 

"We live in a global economy, and terrific instruments are being made in far reaches of the globe. This may not have been the case just a short few years ago, but much of the world has caught up! Why limit ourselves and our customers?"

We have retained our entire staff of luthiers and department managers to ensure continuity and comfort for our teachers and longtime customers. It's business as usual at our Violin Shop but with a few modern technological improvements and updates while preserving our old-world traditional methods and time-intensive artistry.
 

We offer a wide range of fine European-made string instruments, meticulously set up in our own Violin Shop to ensure the highest performance standards. Our inventory includes violins, violas, cellos, and basses, which are available for sale and rental. In response to customer feedback, we have adjusted our pricing structures, making our accessory prices competitive with most online shops and ensuring that our customers get the best value for their money.

Atelier String Shop is proud to continue serving the Greenwich community and beyond, fostering a strong connection with our customers and providing personalized attention to each individual. Our Cos Cob and Norwalk Violin Shop locations are well-equipped to handle sales, rentals, and repairs. Best of all, no appointment is needed, and parking is easy and plentiful!

Our commitment to excellence extends to our repair services, where we ensure that every instrument is in top playing condition. We also provide appraisals and maintain a list of highly qualified teachers to support our customers' musical journeys.
 

Visit our Violin Shop to experience the unparalleled quality and service that have made Atelier String Shop a trusted name in string instruments. We are committed to providing the best for our customers, and we look forward to serving you.
