FAQs

Chicago Strings
  • How do I know what size cellos, violas, and violins I need?

    Proper sizing is determined by the player's height and arm length. We recommend scheduling an appointment with us to ensure you select the correct size instrument for your needs.
  • How often should I restring my instrument?

    Restringing frequency varies based on usage patterns. Students practicing several times weekly typically require restringing once annually, whereas dedicated advancing students often need new strings every three to six months.
  • How much is my violin worth?

    We cannot provide appraisals by phone. Please bring your instrument to our store for an accurate and fair evaluation.
  • Do you sell instruments for all levels?

    Yes, we maintain an extensive selection of violins suitable for players at every skill level. Visit our store and our staff will assist you in choosing the instrument best suited to your requirements.
