Henry Hultquist - President
Henry was born in Omaha and attended the University of Nebraska in Lincoln where he was a member of the Cornhusker Marching Band and the University Orchestra. While working for another music store in Lincoln he learned about string instruments and developed some repair skills. In the early 1980's he observed that the unique needs of string instrument players in Lincoln were not being met, so he decided to open a shop in his home devoted exclusively to violin, viola, cello and double bass. The business grew and he moved to the present location in 1983.

David Frederick - Violin and Bow Maker
David began his career in St. Louis, MO at the age of 17. Aftergaining the favor of a local violin maker, he began the informal apprenticeship that would guide his first steps on what has become his life’s journey. While also reading every book, magazine and journal on the subject of making and restoration, David acquired the skill to secure a position with Williams Gengakki Violins, one of the most prestigious violin shops in the southeast. During this employment, David never missed an opportunity to refine his craft while working closely with German Master Violinmaker Stephanie Voss. He continued his professional studies in restoration and bow making with Jerry Pasewicz and Rodney Mohr, both members of the American Federation of Violin and Bow Makers as well as attending the Violin Society of America’s master summer courses held at Oberlin Conservatory and spent a brief period with Bowmaker and William Salchow alumnus Michael Yeats.
In 2001 he established David Frederick Violins, which focused on the making of new instruments and bows while assisting several shops through out the Midwest and Southeast with restorations.
David’s instruments are enjoyed by an international clientele.
