Hammond Ashley Violins

Hammond Ashley Violins believes in the importance of a strong musical community at every scale- from the local to the global. We are committed to endeavors which help ensure the vitality and longevity of string programs of all kinds. Over the past forty years, our Seattle shop has supported professional, community and youth symphonies from all over Washington State. We invite you to visit our store where you will find a large selection of violins, violas, cellos, basses, their bows, and accessories. Our staff will provide you with personal attention answering your questions about products and service, assisting you with comparing insutruments and accessories, and showing you our facilities. In our workshops, instruments are professionally set up and adjusted to play easily and sound their best. Every instrument and bow has been handpicked, setup, and then tested for playability and sound by us. Our workshops are able to provide on-site adjustment, service, and warranty to the instruments we sell and rent. We provide the best customer service in the business, which is why most of our business comes from referrals by satisfied private teachers and their students. Let us help you. We have a passion for finding the best fit for each of our clients. Because of our large inventory, you can select several instruments within your price range and compare them. Our store provides a relaxed and comfortable setting for you to audition your selections. Instruments can be compared in our store and taken home when you find what you are looking for, taken out on an approval period without commitment to purchase. This allows you to evaluate the instrument in your home and to obtain the opinion of colleagues or your private instructor.
