Welcome to the Loft Violin Shop web site. We have been dedicated to local students and musicians since 1976. "The Loft" provides exceptional stringed instruments, old world craftsmanship and the finest quality accessories and repairs for the beginner or professional. Our commitment and support to local music programs is the foundation of our business. We want to thank you for this opportunity to help advance the participation and enjoyment of music in Central Ohio.
How it all began
Started in 1976, The Loft Violin Shop traces its roots back to the Joseph Ricker and Sons shop in Columbus dating back to the late 1800's. Richard Schlub, David's brother apprenticed in the Ricker shop before taking over "the next generation" with David, current owner of The Loft. Both Richard and David played with The Columbus Symphony at the time and identified the need for continuing quality craftsmanship and service the the central Ohio string community.
David Schlub, the current owner and luthier of The Loft Violin Shop, graduated from Bowling Green State University in Music Education before playing with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra and opening The Loft. David still plays in other area orchestras and venues including the Central Ohio Symphony Orchestra.
From beginning students to symphony professionals
Our rental program has been providing quality instruments to students and schools for almost 30 years. Learning to play a stringed instrument can lead to lifelong involvement with music … whether it be in a dance band, a blue grass group, as a rock n’ roller or with a symphony orchestra. Learning from a qualified teacher on a first-rate instrument will enhance the students’ enjoyment and create a positive environment for artistic expression and musical appreciation.
Our attention to craftsmanship, quality set-up and professional luthiery extends from the beginner to the most advanced professional player. The Loft is owned and operated by professional musicians, educators and craftsman. From the moment you walk in our workshop, you will understand our commitment to old world craftsmanship and fine stringed instruments.
