Instruments and Bows

We carry instruments for the student and professional alike. A student's progress as a musician depends a great deal on having an instrument that is properly set up and comfortable to play. At Summit Fine Instruments, we take the time to set up every instrument in the shop to exacting standards. The process is time-consuming, but essential to ensure the quality of our instruments.
 
 
Finding the right instrument

It's impossible for even the largest shop to keep a collection that meets the needs of every player. We also offer a referral and consultation service that allows you to locate the best instruments available on the market today. Feel free to contact us to discuss the possibilities.

 

 

 We also carry instruments from Snow String Instruments and Eastman Strings. The quality of workmanship and sound in these instruments can be remarkable, and makes them an excellent tool for advancing students.
