WHO WE ARE

We are New England Strings, proud to help musicians find quality instruments and support the enduring power of music. Building on years of expertise with the violin family (violin, viola, cello, and bass), we've expanded our curated offerings to include guitars, harps, and mandolins. Our mission goes beyond selling instruments; we are deeply committed to community, social, and environmental responsibility.

New England Strings

OUR COMMITMENT

Founded by owners of Vermont Violins - Oren Kronick and Kathy Reilly, New England Strings is staffed by outstanding luthiers who are masters of instrument making, repair, performing, and teaching. We operate with a strong focus on sustainability and community support, embodying a dual commitment to financial durability and social/environmental impact.

EMPLOYER RESPONSIBILITY

We believe being a model employer is crucial. Our team members receive generous wage and salary packages, along with comprehensive health, vacation, retirement, and training compensation. A safe and supportive work environment is central to our operation, allowing our staff to thrive and, in turn, make music accessible to all.

SOCIAL & CULTURAL RESPONSIBILITY

Our mission is to foster music in our community and beyond. We tangibly support the arts by donating a significant portion of our net profits to organisations that promote educational and artistic events, including the Vermont Youth Orchestra, The Summit School, and various performance series. We also provide financial aid and creative financing to widen accessibility to fine instruments for financially challenged families. If you've attended a local music event, we've likely helped with financial and outreach support!
