Reuning & Son Violins is a music-focused dealer and shop that concentrates on violins, violas, cellos, and bows, serving a national client base with a niche in fine, small-sized instruments and high-end gear. Founded in the 1970s by Sanford and Joan Reuning alongside their son Christopher, the business originated in Ithaca, New York, and later relocated to Boston, Massachusetts, where it established a reputation as a leading source for elite string instruments and related accessories. The firm operates within the musicians industry, offering a portfolio that supports professional players as well as serious amateurs seeking professional-level instruments and expertise. Over the years, the business has expanded and reorganized its focus, including the formation of Carriage House Violins to serve students and amateurs, though it eventually refocused on professional-level instruments and research, culminating in a larger space in Boston’s Back Bay. The company is based in the Boston area and is part of a broader ecosystem of violin shops and luthiers, with a presence that underscores its long history and specialization in high-quality string instruments.
