About

Libby Summers founded Stamford Strings in 2019 to provide Stamford and the surrounding area with servicing, repairs, restoration and sales of instruments of the string quartet. She draws on the expertise of other luthiers trained at Newark School of Violin Making with the aim to eventually form a cooperative. She believes that by working together, pooling their resources and their expertise, skilled craftsmen can thrive and flourish together, as well as providing a comprehensive and excellent service for the customer. Click here to view all the makers and restorers that currently work with Libby, or have instruments for sale with Stamford Strings.

As well as being trained in repairs, restoration, making and bow repairs, Libby is a violin teacher with over 20 years experience. Her depth of understanding of the instrument and student requirements enhances her making and servicing skills, and her ability to respond to client's needs and expectations.

When she is not doing something with violins, Libby can be found knitting, seeking out the best coffee in town, putting up shelves, writing, reading or running. She is a self-confessed yarn and caffeine addict. At the moment her collection of yarn outweighs her collection of violins, but that balance could soon tip the other way!

Stamford Strings opened their first shop in Stamford, 3 St Leonards Street, Stamford, Lincs, PE9 2HU on Monday 21st September 2020.
