We offer the highest quality electric string instruments available at the lowest possible prices. We carry the remarkable NS Design family of instruments, the popular Yahama electrics, Realist acoustic-electric violins, and kevlar/carbon-fiber composite violins from Bridge.

We have the solution for electrifying your acoustic instrument. From a temporary slip-on design to a more permanent bridge pick-up, our selection from Fishman, Headway, Realist, and others for your violin, viola, cello, and bass will let you be heard loud and clear.

Preamps and amplifiers from companies like Fishman, Headway, LR Baggs, and Roland assure the excellent sound you're looking for from your electric instrument. Many from our selection are specifically made for certain instruments. Take a look at what we offer.

As New England's largest string instrument shop our selection of bows is unrivaled. We are contantly adding antique & modern wood bows, carbon fiber bows, as well as carrying a full selection of student oriented carbon composite and fiberglass bows.

We are well-known for our string selection and prices. Though most strings work well with electric instruments we also offer strings developed with electric instruments in mind, like NS Electric Strings. All strings are heavily discounted with free shipping for string orders over $15.

Our case selection is mind-boggling! We carry more quality cases, case covers, and gig-bags than many "case-only" merchants, at better prices and outstanding service! Bam France, Bobelock, Core, Eastman, Mooradian...the list goes on and on including electric violin gig bags from Yamaha.

We carry a great selection of accessories for your electric string instrument. From a chinrest made for your specific violin to a special rosin, we have it or we can get it. The menu to the right is for those accessories that can be used with electrics or browse thru all of our accessories for acoustic and electric instruments.

We offer an extensive sheetmusic selection from classical to jazz to shows to rock & roll. If you're just learning, take a look at our Suzuki School section and other beginner's sheetmusic and books. We even have reference materials, posters, and CD's.
