Founded in 1985
The Seattle violin business began in 1985.
Founded in Seattle in 1985, Rafael Carrabba Violins specialized in violins and other fine string instruments. The shop is permanently closed. Rafael Carrabba is retired and living in Spain, but welcomes remote inquiries about instruments and can offer guidance on arranging restoration or sale. His work included identifying fine instruments and restoring them, with particular experience in cello restoration. Carrabba's background began in a Seattle violin shop and included work in Chicago, Philadelphia, and London before he returned to Seattle. Local repair and restoration inquiries should go to independent luthiers and bow specialists, rather than the former shop. The business is no longer operating at its former location.
