Welcome to Mason Violins
I’m Ben, a Lexington-based violin maker serving central Kentucky. Have a look at my work below and send me a message to schedule a bow rehair, instrument trial, or repair.
Benchmade Violins, Violas, and Cellos
-
I make these from start-to-finish, commonly on a Guadagnini model and often antiqued. Inquire for pricing.
-
I currently offer two models of cello; a compact Guadagnini and a larger Goffriller. Inquire for more info and pricing.
Instruments and Services
-
I’ve offered rehairs since 2019 after learning from master bow maker Rodney Mohr at Learning Trade Secrets.
-
Regardless of the quality of instrument or your skill level, I’m here to listen and offer sensible recommendations.
Bow Rehairs and Instrument Repairs
-
Starting at $2,500, I purchase and finish violins and violas to the same standard as my own and offer cases and quality student-level bows.
-
Coming soon, I’ll offer cellos that I purchase and finish starting at $6,000.
