Handcrafted Musical Instruments & Expert Music Lessons in Spring Hill
Strum Hollow Music was founded in 2000 by a family dedicated to preserving musical traditions while adapting to modern needs. Our journey began as a way to care for an aging family member while continuing our passion for music, which we have shared through performances, teaching, and crafting instruments for over 30 years. Specializing in handmade instruments like banjos, dulcimers, and custom-designed music accessories, we combine woodworking expertise with a deep understanding of musical artistry. Our teaching programs emphasize both individual growth and community engagement, with students earning recognition at regional competitions. We pride ourselves on offering personalized repair services for stringed instruments, serving Citrus, Pasco, Pinellas, and Hernando counties. Our store features unique items such as hand-painted ukuleles, musical-themed ornaments, and miniature instruments that celebrate musical heritage. With decades of combined experience, we strive to create products and lessons that reflect our commitment to quality and musical excellence. Our work has been recognized with awards at juried art shows and music festivals, underscoring our dedication to craftsmanship. We maintain an online presence to share practice tips, jam etiquette guidance, and free musical notation resources with a global audience. Every item we create and lesson we teach reflects our belief in music as a unifying force that transcends generations.

I ordered my first violin here, and it was packaged wonderfully and carefully! To make everything better, it came pre-rosined with a handwritten note from Ken and Trisha themselves! I'm reccomending all my friends to order here for their instruments. They truly put love into every shipment they make.

Great place to buy your first guitar! They helped me get exactly what my daughter needed to start her school's M/J Guitar 1 course. They did not try to over sell us on guitar that we did not need. The quality and price of the acoustic guitar we bought could not be beat got everything including tuner, gig bag, and stand for under $250. Great starter guitar. Highly recommend this place!

I have known Ken and Trisha Brooks for many years now. They love the music and the musicians and know what they are doing when it comes to finding and caring for instruments. They found my Bart Reiter Whyte Ladye for me and even though I own another decent banjo and have played those of friends, my Whyte Ladye tops them all.

They took in my 60 year old guitar and breathed new life into it. The work was performed on time with lots of care and the price was really affordable. I am completely satisfied!
