When you order an instrument from Shar Music® you are part of a longer journey that began over sixty years ago. That journey is now our mission--to spread joy through string music for generations to come. Our team works hard to make sure that your personalized selection finds its way to you on time and at the right price, whether you're a seasoned professional or a curious beginner starting out for the first time.

Sixty years ago, Charles Avsharian sold violin strings out of his own violin case to students. He innovated. He rebelled against the inflated prices set by manufacturers. He put quality play in the hands of all. And that tradition continues to this day.

Whether you want to learn about how to care for your instrument, get some sheet music recommendations, or just need a little light reading, the Shar Music Blog has something for everyone.

We believe in the future of string music. There is no shortage of talented young artists working today, standing on the threshold of successful and vital careers, working in genres from classical to pop and beyond. We created Young Strings of America to support the next generation of string players as they embark on their musical journeys.

Testimonials

What our customers are saying

Shar is my go-to store for my orchestra needs! I've been a fan of theirs for over 30 years. They've always had professional input when I've needed it. They stand behind their products and they carry good quality items at a reasonable price.

- Sheri N.

Shar has always been my go-to for any music-related supplies - strings, cases, sheet music, teaching materials, and accessories. Shar has it all, and I know the quality has been vetted (unlike other online sources like amazon). Please give them your business to keep this valuable shop up and running for musicians!

- Julie C.

Class is not dead, this place will make you feel valued as a person and customer. If they can not do it, then it can not be done.

- Anthony R.

The experts at Shar have always taken their time to answer all of our questions in detail. They have also made fantastic recommendations on products and have taken such great care of our instrument.
