Violin shop & luthier software
Violin Shop & Luthier Software for Strings, Bows, and Rentals
Music Shop Suite is built for the string shop — every violin, viola, cello, and bow tracked with maker, year, provenance, and bench history, plus a rental program that handles student size upgrades without losing the contract.
- Per-instrument maker, year, country, and provenance
- Certificates of authenticity and appraisal documents on file
- Student rentals with size tracking (1/16 → 4/4) and easy size-up swaps
- Luthier workbench for setups, sound-post, peg work, and bow rehairs
Provenance you can actually search
Maker, year, country, label, and any supporting documentation live on the instrument card. Search by maker, filter by country, or pull every instrument in a price band in one query.
- Maker, year, country, school, label
- Certificate of authenticity and appraisals attached
- Insurance value tracked separately from asking price
Student rentals that size up cleanly
When the 1/2 violin gets handed back and the 3/4 goes out, the rental keeps its history — same student, same parent, same school — and the old instrument returns to stock with full condition notes.
- Size on every rental (1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 4/4)
- Swap-on-renewal workflow with new condition photos
- Year-end return schedule per school
Bench work, logged for life
Every sound-post adjustment, peg fit, bridge cut, and bow rehair is logged against the instrument. When the cello comes back in 2030, your luthier sees everything that's been done to it.
Bows tracked as first-class instruments
Bows get their own cards with maker, weight, hair condition, and rehair history — not buried as an accessory line on a sale.
Frequently asked
- Can it handle violin rentals for students with size upgrades?
- Yes. Track the size (1/16 through 4/4), and when the student sizes up, swap the instrument on the rental in two clicks — same contract, new instrument, new condition photos.
- Does it track maker, year, and provenance?
- Yes. Each violin, viola, cello, or bow carries maker, year, country, certificate of authenticity, and provenance notes on its card.
- Can my luthier log bench work against each instrument?
- Yes. The repair workbench records setups, sound-post adjustments, peg work, bow rehairs, and every visit's notes — visible on the instrument's history forever.
