Why Corona Strings
Built around the craft, not the catalogue
Corona Strings is a Filipino violin atelier based in Marikina. Every recommendation, every accessory, every instrument that eventually lands in the shop will pass through Corona Strings first — the craft will be the standard.
Rooted in Marikina’s rich tradition of Filipino craftsmanship, Corona Strings is being built to bridge the gap between considered instrument making and the everyday musician.
