About Antonio Violins & Ukes 

Antonio Violins & Ukes is a family-owned business that has proudly served the Greater Cincinnati music community since 1993. We specialize in high-quality orchestral string rentals, expert repairs, and personalized service for students, families, and educators across Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. Our focus is on making string instruments accessible through affordable rental programs, trusted partnerships with schools, and an educator-first approach. 

We are the brick-and-mortar retail division for the wholesale brands Amati’s Fine Instruments and Amahi Ukuleles, which distribute instruments and accessories across the globe. Our retail storefront supports these brands with hands-on service, curated inventory, and a local face for our broader product lines. Our passion is getting instruments into every student’s hands through our rental program and by supporting music programs in schools, community organizations, and outreach efforts. We strive to be a reliable resource for educators and families throughout their musical journey. 

Antonio Violins & Ukes is deeply committed to the community. We partner with organizations like MYCincinnati, NoteAble, QtheMusic, the Cincinnati Pops, the Liberian Youth Orchestra, and Melodic Connections, and participate in regional arts events including BLINK, Lumenocity, Music Labs, and Make Music Day Cincinnati. We also remain active within the broader music education and industry communities by attending conventions such as OMEA, ATSA, NASMD, and NAMM. 

Whether we’re helping a student choose their very first violin or working with educators to outfit an entire program, our goal is to build lasting relationships and champion music education at every level.
