At Hammond Ashley Violins, we specialize in stringed instruments. Every instrument sold or rented by Hammond Ashley Violins is professionally set up and adjusted in our on-site workshops; this way, we can fully warranty and guarantee trade-in of all the instruments we sell. Because each stringed instrument has unique tonal and playing characteristics, it is important to visit a violin shop and compare all the instruments in your price range.  The following instrument manufacturers are a few of the many we represent. Our inventory is constantly changing, so it is important to visit us at one of our shops or to call for more detail.
