Welcome to Veritable Violins, home of Luthier Jack Brainerd.
"I am passionate about violins.
My goal is to help every violin sing its most beautiful song.
I handcraft violins and violas from North American woods but
I enjoy experimenting with and utilizing alternative materials.
In addition to building instruments, I repair them, refinish them,
do set-ups and adjustments.
I carry a full line of fractional size imported student instruments.
And, of course, I will be happy to sell any of these instruments to anyone who loves them.
I also carry traditional wooden bows, carbon fiber bows, IncrediBows and a complete line of accessories.
It is never too late to learn to make beautiful music."

Some of Jack's latest adventures include building 5-string violins and building violins following a 1674 Jacob Stainer pattern.
Where would we be without the help of our teacher, mentor and friend Mitchell Norton. See his work here.
Many thanks to Dr. Catherine R. Millis for accoustically evaluating our instruments.
And many thanks to Barb Valente and Annie Savage for sharing their photos of Jack's 5-stringers.
