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.
Beethoven had nothing against composing for money – with delightful results! On a commission from the Scottish folksong collector George Thompson he wrote no fewer than sixteen sets of variations for piano on traditional European folk tunes. Then, at the publisher's request, he gave these fairly difficult variations a simple but charming ad libitum flute part which, with minor alterations, can also be played on a violin.
