Ifshin Violins

In 1981 violin maker Jay Ifshin purchased a small local violin shop in Berkeley that has now expanded to offer one of the most extensive collections of instruments and bows in the country. We offer discount accessories at our store in El Cerrito and by mail order to all fifty states. Eighteen years of collaboration between Jay Ifshin and head luthier Haide Lin resulted in the 1994 inception of the popular Jay Haide line of violins, violas, cellos, and basses. Ifshin Violins also features a thriving rental department to serve amateurs and professionals of all ages. Our new address is 6420 Fairmount Avenue.
