Sales
In student models, we carry inexpensive outfits set up in our workshop to our specifications from a number of different countries. For the serious amateur and the professional we also have a fine selection of instruments made by masters of the last several hundred years along with contemporary masters including our own, Eric Benning.

Accessories
To compliment your instrument we also have a fine selection of excellent bows from the old French masters to contemporary French, English, German, Brazilian, and American makers. We also carry a complete line of strings, cases, and accessories for the violin, viola and cello.

Restorations & Repairs
Restoration and repair have long been a staple of our studio. Being in the center of the West Coast music scene has brought many of the finest musicians through our doors. Hans Benning was Jascha Heifetz's (bio, official site) luthier for the last 10 years of his life. Precision repairs were done on both his Guarneri and his Tononi violins as well as his bows.

Fine restoration of instruments and bows as well as excellent set up and adjustment have satisfied many worldwide. Patient adjustment of your instrument is always of paramount importance, allowing the collaboration of both the musicians' needs and the instruments' well being to work in tandem.
