Founded in 2007, Vince Violins was built on a simple belief: every musician deserves an instrument that invites them to play more. From the first lesson to the concert stage, the right violin, viola, or cello can shape how a musician connects with sound—and how long they stay inspired. fter years serving players across the region, we’ve finally established our studio here in Gaithersburg, Maryland, where we now work with students, families, educators, and professional musicians throughout the greater DMV (DC–Maryland–Virginia) area. Our focus is intentional and hands-on: carefully selected instruments and bows, precise setup and repair, and rental programs designed to support real musical growth. Every recommendation is guided by experience, careful listening, and respect for the individual player. We are proud to be located in the Kentlands neighborhood of Gaithersburg—an area known for its walkable streets and vibrant arts community. We’re about 10–15 minutes from Rockville Town Center in normal traffic, and roughly 25–30 minutes from downtown DC, Bethesda, and McLean/Tysons, with quick access via I-270 and the Beltway. While you’re here, enjoy Kentlands’ walkable charm—the Kentlands Mansion, Arts Barn, neighborhood lakes and paths, Kentlands Market Square—and the nearby RIO Lakefront for dining and family activities.
