What the Professionals Say…
"Wayne Stanton is a Master Luthier, maker of the finest
violins and bows
in the Southeast. If you value your
instrument, you’ll seek out Wayne
Stanton for his fine
craftsmanship and professionalism. No job is too
serious,
and he stands behind his work.
He offers exceptional string instruments at an
affordable price to students, and his handmade
instruments are
fabulous."

has taken care of my bows and instruments for over

shops in New York or Vienna."
–James Pipkin, violinist
Alabama Symphony Orchestra
"Stanton
is not only a fine instrument and bow maker, his
superior craftsmanship
is evident in every job he takes on,
great or small, down to the finest
details of touch, feel,
sound, and appearance. His skills are gratifying to even
the most meticulous professional."
–Michael Johnson
Principal Bass, Tuscaloosa Symphony
"I just don't know what we would do in Tuscaloosa without
Wayne. He has
found good quality instruments for our school
students and for my adult
beginner class. We can depend on
him for reasonably-priced consistently
high quality repairs.
He is a treasure!"
–Dr. Anne C. Witt

“We are so lucky to have Wayne in
this area. He is an expert
in his field. I advise my students to see
him first,
to get the job done right, at the lowest possible price.”
–Jo Ann Strickland
ASO cellist & teacher
quality violin at a very competitive price. Wayne's knowledge
of violins and other string instruments is impressive. In
addition, he provided us with excellent service and a
satisfaction guarantee. My son really enjoys playing his new
1/10 violin, which delivers great sound! It's worth the trip to
Tuscaloosa to purchase a violin with Wayne."
