I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Fein Stringed Instruments has been in business for nearly 25 years. We sell violins, violas, cellos, and basses for every level of musician from the beginning student to the professional player. We have acoustic and electric instruments, bows, cases, and fine wood music stands. Come visit our website at www.FineViolins.com to see a selection of our inventory!...

My Interests

We're committed to a cleaner and greener world! We are a Green Power Partner with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Quite possibly, we are the only violin shop in the world to utilize 100% Wind Generated Electricity. We also plant one tree for every instrument that we sell, run our vehicles on E85 ethanol fuel, and so much more. It's time to start global cooling! See our commitments at: www.GreenEmPower.com .

I'd like to meet:

Are you a violinist, violist, cellist, string bassist,or fiddler? Does your band have one? Plugged in or not - we don't care!! We have a link from our website www.FineViolins.com to our MySpace to showcase all the cool sounds our friends are doing with their instruments. Want to be heard by other musicians from around the world? Friend up with us.
