About Us

Violin-Strings.com is proudly owned and operated by The String Emporium, a trusted resource for string players for over 40 years. While we’re especially known for our upright bass expertise, we also offer exceptional value on violin strings, rosin, and cases — with the same fast, friendly, and expert service musicians have come to expect.

We’re a family-run business that provides personal support, professional guidance, and the best pricing on all major violin string brands. Because of the growing demand for violin accessories, we’ve dedicated this site exclusively to violin strings, cases, and rosin—to help streamline your shopping experience.

About the Owner

Hi, I’m Steve Koscica, founder of The String Emporium. I currently serve as Assistant Principal Double Bass with the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra, a position I’ve held for over 40 years. Before moving to Phoenix, I was Principal Double Bass with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra for four years.

In addition to my orchestral background, I’ve performed as a jazz musician for over 30 years, bringing a deep passion for music to everything we do at The String Emporium.
