Hi! I'm Andy Fein, violin and bow maker, restorer, and owner at Fein Violins. I also play violin and viola. I consider myself a lifelong student of violin family instruments, their construction, their acoustics, and their history.
I started my aprrenticeship in violin making at the Chicago School of Violin Making in 1977. I've been making, researching, and learning about violins, violas, cellos, and bows ever since.
I grew up in Cherry Hill, NJ surrounded by musicians of the Philadelphia Orchestra, great violin makers, and playing a number of instruments in a wonderful school music program. I left high school early to attend a special advanced program at Hahnemann Medical College in Philadelphia. From Hahnemann, I spent a year at Reed College in Oregon, and then in 1977, I finished my B.A. in Music, Cum Laude, at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. Along the academic way, I also studied biochemistry, chemistry, physics, acoustics, and the history of art and music.
I started Fein Violins in 1982. Fein Violins has served professionals and students since 1982 with superior service and an excellent selection of fine violins, fine violas, and fine cellos.
We are a stringed instrument shop specializing in hand crafted and hand made fine violins, fine violas, fine cellos, and fine Pernambuco bows. Our violin shop is located in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and our stringed instruments are played by professional and devoted amateur musicians all around the United States, Europe, Asia, Canada, Central America, South America, the Caribbean, and Africa.
Andrew Fein, the violin maker and owner of Fein Violins, has over 30 years of experience as a luthier. All of the hand made instruments that we sell are set up, adjusted, and checked by Andy and the professional musicians on staff at Fein Violins. We play every hand crafted instrument that we offer! Because all of us at Fein Violins are musicians ourselves, if any instrument does not meet our high standards, we simply will not sell it.
Everyone that works at Fein Violins plays violin, viola, and/or cello. Everyone! We live in the string world. We'll know what you're talking about.
The hand crafted violins, violas, and cellos that we sell at Fein Violins are each set up with professional quality bridges and strings. Every instrument we sell includes a bow, a case, a one year warranty, and 100% trade-in value. We want you to be absolutely, fully satisfied with your instrument purchase, and we are confident that you'll find your instrument has a great sound and great value. If, for any reason, you are not completely happy with your instrument, we would be more than happy to make any necessary adjustments to its set-up so that it perfectly suits your needs as a musician. Or, if you prefer, you always have 10 days after the date on which you receive your instrument to return it and receive a full refund - we'll even cover the cost of return shipping!
We feature hand crafted fine violins, fine violas, and fine cellos made in our partner violin shop, Atelier Cremone, a consortium of French and Italian luthiers. We also offer hand made violins, violas, and cellos by the makers Francois Costa and D. Albert, both of Markneukirchen, Germany. All of these fine, hand made instruments are made exclusively for Fein Violins, using our exact specifications regarding wood age, grain structure, measurements, and varnish formula. Our hand crafted fine stringed instruments are unique and available exclusively through Fein Violins.
