Built by a player, for players
Corona Strings is a small Filipino family business. We’re musicians who play, teach, and perform — so every accessory in the shop is picked because a working violinist here actually uses and trusts it. Every teacher we partner with is someone we’d send our own student to.
The catalogue stays small on purpose — we’d rather have ten things we’ll defend than a hundred things we’ve never picked up.
Read the full storyA family business, not a chain
A small Filipino family business — careful and hands-on, with instruments picked by musicians who actually play.
For every level
From a child's first instrument and beginner lessons to advanced players and adult learners coming back to the violin.
Curated, not warehoused
The catalogue stays small. Every product is something Corona Strings would recommend without hesitation.
