Meet the Business Owner

Vickie H.

Business Owner

Vickie’s violin career began in 1985 by assisting in violin and bow repairs being done in the family’s workshop located in their backyard garage. As time and her knowledge progressed, she became involved in customer service, bookkeeping, and inventory control. She eventually found herself giving up a 23 year insurance career to take full-​time interest in the violin trade. What started out as a hobby to Vickie became V.A. Hill Fine Strings Ltd., Calgary’s largest and best-​selection violin shop.

Vickie’s extensive knowledge of violin construction and restoration, along with her dedication to precise set-​up and repair technique, provides the basis for her demands of excellence in shop standards. With this knowledge, Vickie has been able to hand-​pick only the highest of skilled professionals that share or exceed her vision.
