Miami String Haus
Our Story
Miami String Haus began as a small passion project rooted in a love for music and a dedication to the string community. Founder Charles Winters started out as a double bass instructor and consultant, visiting schools and mentoring students across South Florida. Over time, his vision grew into a boutique workshop — lovingly called “the Haus” — where musicians could find instruments built and maintained with care.
Today, Miami String Haus represents a blend of artistry and precision, offering fine instruments, expert repairs, and personalized service for players at every stage.

Voices From the Haus
Charlie and Bill were great to assist in purchasing a upright double base. The experience was epic. I recommend everyone to this location for the dreams of learning to play or even to have that particular instrument in their home. We love it.
Absolutely outstanding! They offered me a free violin appraisal and went above and beyond, taking the time to explain every detail and share as much knowledge as possible. Their passion, expertise, and kindness truly set them apart. Beautiful products and such a cool shop—highly recommended!
We had a wonderful experience buying a cello for our child from Miami String Haus. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and kind, helping us find the perfect fit. You can tell they genuinely care about music education and supporting young musicians. Highly recommend!
The Winters are the kindest most considerate string shop owners I have met. Each person on their staff operates at a high level with attention to every detail when addressing your string needs. They provide excellent rentals and can accommodate any stringed instrument request, I highly recommend them!
Just got a bridge adjustment and endpin fitted on my cello and the work took just about an hour and a half. Allen took care of me and did an absolutely wonderful job. He’s is very kind and knowledgeable and you can tell he loves what he does. Great shop, a little pricey but you get what you pay for. Job was done excellently
Write some content about what they are saying about your Allen and Aviel were so nice and thought us so much I didn’t know about my violin! They have a list of teachers that they can give you if you ask! I am definitely coming back once I’m ready for a better violin!.
This is the only quality shop that I trust in Miami. I have already been to two other shops, and the quality of the instruments, selection, and instruction for private lessons does not compare to Miami String Haus. Don't bother with any other stores for Orchestral instruments. Charlie is also good with setting up Electric Basses as well.
Fantastic Place. The staff are very welcoming and answer every question you have. Their instruments are beautiful and beyond worth the price. They think of the musician first and your money second. Definitely coming back for more.
