of creating an experience that nourishes the soul.

to your insights, aspirations and ideas.

K.C. Strings will help you create an experience beyond what you have ever imagined.

We listened to the insights of a bass player who rode to rehearsal on a bicycle with a bass strapped on his back and we crafted the most ergonomic bass.

We listened to the aspirations of a violinmaker who set his leg on fire with a varnish experiment and we developed a finish that gives instruments the soothing voice of Bel Canto.

We listened to the ideas of a designer who assembled a forklift from individual parts without instructions and we invented an accessory that turns a musician's difficult task into an easy process.

Welcome to K.C. Strings violin shop. We are innovators and creators of instruments and accessories used by string players all over the world. We are located in Kansas City, the heart of America. K.C.
