We offer sales, accessories, rentals, consignment, appraisals, repairs of all string instruments. We specialize in restoration and sales of antique and vintage violins, violas, cellos and bows. We pride ourselves on our expertise in sound adjustment. We have an extensive collection of excellent quality instruments and bows for purchase and rental as well as accessories and strings for violins, violas and cellos. Our Work
Many of the instruments we acquire are vintage or antique and require extensive restorations. Most of our vintage collection consists of instruments with brand new fixtures, new finger boards and new bridges. After all of this work is completed, we dedicate another few hours adjusting the sound on each instrument which is our specialty. At Princeton Violin we know that this acute attention to detail and precision work on each individual instrument greatly enhances the quality of our collection and the satisfaction of our customers. Policies
We stand behind our work, with an extensive and flexible fourteen day return policy, no questions asked and a 100% credit trade-in policy for an instrument of higher value in our collection, should you decide that it is time for a new instrument. Also, for one year the instrument, both work and parts, is guaranteed excluding strings. Our Mission
Here at Princeton Violin, LLC we understand that the process of purchasing an instrument can be overwhelming and we would like to offer our knowledge to anyone in need of an opinion. We strive for happy customers, and find great satisfaction in pairing a musician with their perfect match. If you are in search of the right instrument or bow, either for yourself or your child we are here, happily, to help.

How important is the tuning of a cello?

It goes far beyond tuning the four strings.

Listen closely—the afterlength is tuned to a perfect fifth. Even the tailgut resonates in a fifth.

These small details are part of what allows the entire instrument to work together, creating greater resonance, response, and depth of sound.

A beautifully made cello deserves to be beautifully set up and tuned.

Come experience the difference for yourself.

Book your appointment today and don’t miss the chance to experience our carefully selected, professionally set-up and tuned cellos.

We are very proud to support Ian Barnett '27, winner of the Princeton University Orchestra Concerto Competition.

On February 27 & 28, 2026, Ian will perform the Barber Violin Concerto at Richardson Auditorium.

As we carefully restore his instrument, Ian will take the stage with a beautiful Leandro Bisiach violin made in Milano, 1924.

It is always an honor to stand behind young artists at moments like this.

We hope to see you there, either in-person or in the live-stream, located on Princeton University Orchestra's official website (live stream only on the 28).
