Howery Violins

Howery Violins does select bow rehair/bow restoration, /violin/viola/cello- setup, restoration, and repair work. We charge a $60 fee to examine an instrument for the purpose of providing an estimate for any work. The fee will be deducted from any work agreed upon.

For “violin repairs” please make an appointment for a phone conversation or for stopping by the shop.

My Violin Studio is at my residence.  When you plan to visit, please make an appointment. Thank You.

Violin Making

Will’s primary luthier focus is making violins, violas and 5-Strings. Like playing the violin perfecting the craft of a “violin maker” requires years of dedicated focus. Will’s Fernandina Beach violin shop inventory continues to grow, the instruments are used as rentals and are available for purchase.

Will offers Free Shipping in the continental United States.
