Luthier & Violin Sales

Jacob Mehlhouse

My education in violin repair began with Lisbeth Nelson Butler at the Red Wing Violin Repair School. 

After finishing my studies, I moved to Tulsa to be the shop foreman and trained repairman for the Tulsa Violin Shop. 

My training continued with different shops and repairmen including Amos Hargrave, Horacio Piniero, and most importantly the players. 

I opened my own shop, Tulsa Strings, in 2008 in Midtown Tulsa. Repair and restoration are the most important part of my business. I am trained and experienced in all repairs and restorations for the violin family of instruments and bows. 

I now call San Francisco my home and have been working with the local community and players over the last two years. Contact me for any inquiries about repairs, restoration, sales, or collaboration.
