Benning Violins has a long tradition of expert service and meeting the needs of musicians – from the beginner to the professional – since 1953.

For six decades Benning Violins has been serving the West Coast musical community at our celebrated shop on storied Ventura Boulevard in the heart of Studio City in Los Angeles.

Our unique building was constructed in 1952 by Paul Toenniges and called Studio City Music, which sold not only instruments crafted by Toenniges, but drums, brass, woodwinds and everything musical under the sun.

For three generations, the Benning family name has been synonymous with the making of fine, master-crafted violins, violas and cellos.
