Violinmaking is not a dying art - but it is a rare one. Luthiers who are fully trained, skilled, and experienced are artists who have spent years studying, analyzing, and practicing their craft to razor sharpness. They have chosen not to be in the spotlight, but instead to focus their energies into that that artistic tool, the instrument and bow itself, with which the musician requires to shine.

At Williams Fine Violins & Luthier Studios, our Luthiers know violins, violas, cellos, double basses and their bows like very few others.  A full service shop, we feature Tennessee’s largest selection of instruments in every price range, new and old instruments, in perfect working order, and adjusted to the highest standards.  Understanding the needs of a diverse clientele, musicians who’s talents, training, and interests range from Celtic to orchestral, from jazz to country, from pop to classical, and from back porch to recording studio, our diverse team of Luthiers can help you choose and maintain your perfect instrument.

For any need, concern, or question you may have, we warmly invite you to visit us soon.

What is a "luthier"?

LUTHIER - [loo-tee-er] n. (lit. "lute maker") A maker of stringed instruments, as violins.

A person who builds or repairs stringed instruments, either bowed or plucked. These include violins, violas, cellos, double basses, guitars of all kinds, lutes, and mandolins.

The French word lutherie, used in both French and English, refers to the art of constructing string instruments. The name luthier harkens back to the time when lutes were the dominant instrument of the day.

In the USA, the term "luthier" is used by specialists; more widely known terms tend to specify the exact specialty of each particular maker ("lute maker", or "violin maker", etc. "Violinmaker" is also a common term for luthiers who do not merely specialize in violins, but in all the instruments from the entire violin family)
