Paul J. Bartel (1951-2019)

Paul was not only the founder of Baroque Violin Shop, he was our father, our friend, our teacher, and an inspiration to everyone he came in contact with. His passion for music and music education were undeniable, unrivaled and infectious. He may not be with us physically but his spirit lives on through everyone that he inspired around the country. His quiet and humble generosity have impacted thousands of lives, and encouraged thousands more.

Paul you fought the good fight, you finished the race, and you kept the faith. You are missed.
