Our workshop operates by appointment for all instrument and bow repair and restoration, and availability is limited. Because each player and instrument is unique, we prefer to have a conversation with you to discuss your individual needs and answer any questions you may have. We invite you to call us at 617-262-0051 (ext. 655) or email info@carriagehouseviolins.com to discuss scheduling an appointment.
As a comprehensive string shop, Carriage House Violins offers a wide range of services to our clients through every step of the instrument selection process.
The NS Design Frame Strap System offers the freedom of full mobility, only a dream for the cellist or upright bassist in the past. The Frame Strap System fits over the shoulder like a guitar strap, but holds the instrument out from the body in the ideal position for bow and pizzicato technique. Lightweight frame design has triangulated body contact points to provide a high degree of stability and comfort. Convenient height and angle adjustments allow players to accommodate personal styles of play. In addition to the vertical position, the neck can be angled horizontally like a guitar for picking and strumming. A single wing nut secures the instrument in place for fast set-up and breakdown. The strap system fits both cello and double bass.
