ABOUT US

A Little More Information

Junkyard Strings is unique in the string shop world. That's because we don't make instruments or sell through a dealer. We find instruments in various places: junkyards, flea markets, garage sales, and antique markets. The instruments that we find are broken, worn, and unplayable. However, after several hours, or days, in our repair shop, the instrument comes out looking better than ever, and playable! We pride ourselves on being on the cheaper side of instrument sales, and that's because we want these instruments to find their forever homes. Whether the home is a beginner or a seasoned professional, Junkyard Strings makes sure your violin, viola, cello, or bass is just what you wanted.

​

Contact us if you have any questions, or if you would like to set up an appointment to view our quality instruments. If we don't have what you are looking for, we can recommend you to other string shops in the area so you can find your perfect instrument.
