About
Report
Jim Quist began playing the violin at the age of 8 in the Seattle School Orchestra Program. Years later, tutored by the gifted violist Karl Allred of the Utah Symphony, he prepared for university studies while performing as principal violin and viola for several local, state and national youth symphonies and string ensembles.
Sales
Report
Any music store can order a new instrument. Unfortunately, many of them stop there. At Quist Violins we begin by hand-selecting the best instruments from our exclusive suppliers' inventories. We then professionally "set up" each instrument, which may include carving a new bridge and sound post, planing the fingerboard, shaping the nut, dressing the pegs, and installing a high-quality tailpiece and strings.

As string teachers, we understand the challenge of learning to play a new instrument and are uniquely qualified to guide you on your musical journey. The first critical step begins with the instrument you choose - and choosing quality is paramount to your success. Over the years, Quist Violins has built an extensive inventory of quality hand-selected student instruments in all sizes. Each outfit includes an instrument, bow, case, rosin, and shoulder rest or end pin stop - everything you need to start playing!
Repair
Report
Our luthier, Mike Kenney, strives to utilize the least invasive methods in repair and restoration, and undertakes such tasks only when allowed the time necessary to achieve the best results. With expectations of advancement in technology and restoration techniques, as well as the possibility of future accidental damage, our work is generally aimed at being strong yet reversible. Finding the balance between conservation and structural integrity is what we do.
