General information

Services:

Custom Made Instruments:
Mr. McCarten will make a violin, viola or cello to suit the most discriminating ear at an affordable price. With every custom-made instrument, the client's satisfaction is guaranteed or the entire purchase price will be refunded

Sales:
McCarten Violins sells new and vintage stringed instruments from America, Europe and Asia to suit every budget. [Check out www.violins.mccarten.com for detailed information.] A collection of instruments made by violin-making students of the North Bennet Street School provides a rare opportunity to own an entirely hand-crafted instrument for a very affordable price.

Rentals:
We rent violins, violas and cellos for beginning and advanced students. Mr. McCarten personally inspects and sets up each instrument before it is rented. In addition to being expertly set up, every rental instrument is delivered with high quality strings, a suitable bow, a case and rosin. Every rental builds equity which can be used later to purchase an instrument from the shop.

Setup and Tonal Adjustments:
We offer expert set-up and tonal adjustment to suit every player's requirements.

Repair and Restoration:
If your instrument is damaged or just time-worn, we provide free repair estimates. All repairs and restorations are done expertly and quickly.

Bows and Accessories:
We carry a variety of bows for sale. The shop performs bow rehairing services at reasonable prices and with quick turn-around. We also stock those accessories most often needed by professional and student musicians.
