About Us

Our violin studio and workshop will change the way you think about buying or seeking a service for a stringed instrument.
We provide professional services for string instruments in a comfortable, friendly and relaxing environment, and offer the best choice in its respective range.
Our studio-workshop, service and products strongly reflect our great passion for string instruments. We are constantly searching and evocating the application of new technology that improves the sound production of a string instrument.
At JohannStrings we pledge to reduce wastage through our expert restoration craft services in two key areas: 
-    We present instruments worth keeping, by restoring instruments received to a state of playability and performance excellence, so they can be used again.
-    We refurbish used instruments, so they can be put to good use again, and donating these instruments to orphanages in third world countries under our Corporate Social Responsibility programme.
We proudly support our local communities in order to affect positive change, and lend support to young and up-coming musicians.
