Stretton Contemporary is dedicated to preserving the rich legacy of 18th-century Italian violin craftsmanship while pioneering new possibilities in modern luthiery—leaving a meaningful and enduring impact on the future of violin making and to empower musicians by giving them access to the highest-quality instruments.

At the heart of this mission is our commitment to making exceptional instruments accessible to fine musicians who lack the resources or opportunities to perform on rare masterpieces. By breaking down barriers and embracing inclusivity, we ensure that the magic of Antonio Stradivari, Domenico Montagnana, Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù, and other great makers is shared with a broader community of musicians through our bench-inspired violins, violas and violoncellos.
