We needed a two day cello rental in NYC and Kolstein was the best place to work with hands down! Teresa is incredible. Responsive, helpful, detailed. And the cello was ready for us to pick up and easy to drop off. Prices best in town. Great cello. Thank you Kolstein business for outstanding customer service.
Celebrating 79 years in business! The Samuel Kolstein Violin Shop was founded by Samuel Kolstein in 1943 as a Violin and Bow making establishment. Original locations were in Brooklyn, New York and later at 55th Street and 6th Avenue in New York City.
Mr. Samuel Kolstein was a primary bow restorer for the Wurlitzer establishment from the late 1940’s through the mid 1950’s. Mr. Kolstein, also conducted his own shop business of fine making and instrument restoration with an international staff of luthiers.
In 1958, Samuel Kolstein Violinshop relocated to Merrick, New York, on Long Island with Barrie Kolstein joining the shop in 1971. The shop came to it's permanent manufacturing facility in Baldwin for the last 45 years +.
