Thomas Yee founded Bay Fine Strings in 2016 as a way to amalgamate his lifelong passions of music, stringed instruments, and entrepreneurship. Thomas, an active professional violinist, pedagogue, and major advocate of both modern and past lutherie, has since placed countless instruments with collectors, institutions/schools, musical colleagues and their students, and those in the music communities across the country. In the world of contemporary lutherie, Thomas has firmly positioned himself as an authority on modern making by maintaining working relationships with some of the top contemporary violin and bow makers around the world. In addition, Thomas also assists musicians in the process of having instruments specifically made for them.
