Who we are.

The Violin Case, LLC is the only online gift shop dedicated to string players. The shop was created in 2001 by Julie Tayler, a string teacher in the Seattle WA area.

Julie has a passion for strings, and finds a lot of joy in finding new gifts that string players love.


What we do.

Our shop is a collection of items that inspire and promote the love of strings and string playing in students and professionals of all ages. Our items are unique, creative, and enduring. Many are hand made, and many are available only here.

We have also collected and created string resources including scales and articles that are designed for players who are looking for encouragement and support from other players.

Our community.

Julie's absolute favorite part of having an online store is getting to know string players all over the world. She gets to talk to string players on the phone, via email and through social media. It is fun to feel an immediate connection with someone else through the shared love of strings.

Our mission.

To promote and encourage string players all over the world.
