AMAC Violins

At the Violin Center, our mission is to provide a comprehensive and welcoming environment for music enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels. We strive to inspire and cultivate a love for music, while also fostering a sense of community among our students, teachers, and performers.

Our History

Our journey began in 1993 when Edmund Wu, a professional concert violinist and educator, recognized the need for high-quality, affordable string instruments. Edmund's vision was to import the best instruments possible from China and make them accessible to students of all levels. With the help of prominent violin experts, Edmund was able to cultivate and refine the craftsmanship of Chinese violin makers, resulting in the consistently high standard of workmanship that AMAC is known for today.
