Beckmann Violin Shop

Friday Feb. 17 12-5, Feb. 18 10-2.

This December: All bows 15-25% off!

New arrival from Arcos Brazil: this beautiful Peccatte model violin bow looks and plays great! This excellent bow is priced at $2400. Call us to set up an appointment to see it and many other fine bows in this price range.

Follow the process of our setup of this Jay Haide cello! Our unique and detailed process will ensure that this cello will sound great and be an excellent fit for the serious student. Once it's done, email [email protected] to arrange a trial. Update: As of May 17, this cello is available for trial! It sounds wonderful and is a good fit for the most serious of students. Call 913-831-1119 or email [email protected] for more information or to arrange a trial.

Now that the ribs are glued and we have added reinforcement to the neck, it's time to put the fingerboard back on. The neck is being planed and measured so that the fit between it and the fingerboard is exact. Any variation will have an effect on the playability and longevity of this instrument.

This is the first step in setting up this wonderful Jay Haide cello. When it arrived, the seams were left intentionally open so that the wood can expand and contract freely, making the instrument more stable. We have just glued the seams after a short period of acclimation to KC weather, and we're almost ready for the next step. Notice the missing fingerboard...stay tuned!
