More than a century of listening.
The Violin House of Weaver — Bethesda, Maryland. Since 1898.

For four generations, the Weaver family has worked with musicians, teachers, collectors and violin shops in search of one essential quality: sound.
The Violin House of Weaver has served string players since 1898, evaluating and providing instruments ranging from historic European violins to contemporary instruments.
That experience forms an important part of the Kono philosophy: an instrument should ultimately be judged by how it responds in the hands of a musician.
