Welcome to Old World Instruments! Based in Pittsburgh, PA our goal is to support the Early Music community by providing quality instruments and accessories at affordable prices.

We carry Lu-Mi Strings. These instruments were developed by Markku Luolajan-Mikkola, a Finnish gamba player with an international reputation. He studied viola da gamba with Wieland Kuijken and baroque cello with Jaap ter Linden at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and received postgraduate diplomas in both instruments. These instruments are in our experience the absolute best baroque strings that are commercially available and affordable for students and professionals alike, and we feel very fortunate to have access to them.

Please be patient with us as we develop our new Ecommerce website. We expect to be adding products often, so please check back! As our thank you for bearing with us during the development process, we are offering free shipping on all items while the website is officially under construction.
