NEW BEGINNINGS
I think every child dreams of becoming someone they deeply admire and look up to. My dad was that someone to me. The rare violin shop he built was his castle. A castle with our family name on it. For years I watched my father run a highly successful rare string instrument business that I hoped I myself would run one day. Unfortunately, Robert Bein, a true legend in the violin world, passed away well before his time. So I never did get to to run his business. But now to finally follow in his footsteps, I am stepping into that new beginning my father always imagined for me.
I have opened Bein and Co. to carry on my father’s legacy. After nearly two decades of connoisseurship and sales experience at the forefront of the violin market, it’s time. And I want to thank all the incredible artists, clients, teachers, family, and friends who inspired me and encouraged me to walk down this new road. My goal is to not only bring back the expertise, trust and integrity my father instilled in me, but to also do everything I can to help shape the future for classical musicians at every level.
