At Acoustic Strings of New England, we believe that the quality of your instrument should compliment the passion behind your music. We ensure that our stringed instruments are obtained from European makers who have a history of crafting superior quality instruments from a selection of aged woods.

Our pursuit of high standards does not end there. In our own shops, we personally test-play each instrument and upgrade our products with superior parts to achieve the highest quality possible. It is because of these exacting standards that we have such a history of referrals by professional musicians, students, and educators alike!

Our sales staff are musicians themselves, who are knowledgeable and approachable.We strive to provide you with an excellent instrument that allows you to achieve your hopes and dreams.

Our customers range from very young children to adult professional and amateur musicians. Whether purchasing or renting an instrument, we pride ourselves on our personal customer service.

We offer an excellent selection of instruments, including high quality rental instruments and mastercrafted antique and contemporary instruments. We offer rent-to-own programs, excellent equity retention, and upgrade options for instruments and bows.

Our Prices

All of our instruments are competitively priced based on the market and our competitors. We want to see you with the instrument you’ve always dreamed of, and facilitating that is our goal. Most of our fine instruments can be leased on a rent-to-own basis, making it easy for you to become the owner of your own instrument. For those who decide to directly purchase their instrument from us, we offer favorable discounts designed to make life easier for you. Additionally, we offer an excellent selection of instruments that are even better than our basic rentals, which are available in fractional sizes. All first and second year students are eligible by appointment to rent these “step-up”, or professional grade, instruments and bows!

Our Service

Though problems with our instruments are rare, we understand that life happens. In the event of ANY problem, a solution is only a phone call away! We will gladly fix your instrument, provide a loaner, or replace the instrument. It’s that easy! As part of our quality assurance measures we employ two expert luthiers to help assure that our instruments remain in great shape continually.
