Spring is here and we have been  working hard on some new projects.  We often find that instruments we tune for winter need a tune for spring. Temperatures and humidity change the sound of your wood and you want your music to sing! Jennifer will be playing Cello with the Golden Valley Orchestra Monday June 5th in Golden Valley. The concert is free to attend and a great way for you to hear and meet Jennifer. In the shop we are building some new Jennifer Becker designs as well as working on some instruments that are hundreds of years old. We love new work and restoring classical instruments to singing condition. Drop by and see is anytime! Please call  (612) 508-5739  for an appointment We look forward to seeing you at the new shop. http://www.jenniferbeckerviolins.org Address:  1161 Selby Avenue, Saint Paul, MN 55104
