Our Story
Texas owned and operated, Violins Etc. was founded on the principle that high quality and low cost are not mutually exclusive. In 1993, after searching for a student violin for his daughter, the owner of Violins Etc. was disheartened to find an absence of affordable, quality instruments in the marketplace. He started Violins Etc. in Austin, Texas with a vision of bringing high quality instruments from European makers to the American market at affordable prices, and today Violins Etc. is able to offer unparalleled quality and value to musicians at all levels both in Texas and around the world. Violins Etc. is one of the fastest growing string instrument companies in the United States, and a commitment to quality and value remains the guiding principle in our business.
