Just a reminder that our Poughkeepsie shop is closed today, Saturday September 19th. We're sorry for the inconvenience!
While you're here reading, you or someone you may know might be excited to hear that we are looking for an additional flexible full-time luthier and bow repair person to work alongside our NY team!

Must be a team player. Must have good communication skills to work with customers, teachers, and co-workers. We will invest in the right person who wants to learn more, advance their skills, and work full time with violin family instruments and bows. Must be dedicated and trustworthy.
The job may require ability to: fit pegs, repair cracks, plane fingerboards, set up instruments with new bridge and post, bush peg holes, perform tonal adjustments, varnish retouch, or other repairs as required.
Further Study: Stamell Strings recognizes that lutherie is a life- long learning process. We try to help our employees gain further knowledge and skill in their careers.

Benefits include: paid sick time, vacation time, personal time, contribution to health insurance, and a great work environment. We value a harmonious work environment. Our shop is small enough to provide excellent customer service, and big enough to offer a big selection of inventory that attracts players of all levels.
