Thanks for visiting my site . . .

I've had another enjoyable and exciting year - Selecting some of the finest instruments available at affordable prices to my students and the community;   going back to school for additional training in string instrument repair at the Violin Craftsmanship Institute, University of New Hampshire;   and continuing my teaching of violin, viola and cello students (my favorite part of the shop).

Why You Should Purchase Your Next Instrument from Keiffer Violin Shop

I have carefully selected some of the best quality instruments available and offer these instruments at very affordable prices.  I do the final setup on all instruments that I sell, and I ensure that each instrument is not only set up in accordance with MENC standards, but meets my own standards as well.   My standards are based on both my training in string instrument repair and my experience as a teacher.  As a teacher, I am very concerned about "playability" of the instrument.  What may appear as minor errors in setup, such as a nut that is too high, or a bridge that is not cut at the right angle, may actually pose significant problems for students just learning to play.  It can be frustrating trying to play when the action is too stiff, or the fingers will not clear adjacent strings.  I also believe that a student instrument should sound good!!!  (What a revolutionary concept!!)   I make sure that each instrument is adjusted to optimize it's potential for projection and clarity of tone.

    So-  Whatever your string instrument needs: repairs, a new instrument, or professional instruction in violin, viola and cello; I hope you will give me a call, or send me an email to let me know how I can serve you.
