Bach Strings
Bach Strings — a miniature music shop to build by hand
Bach Strings is a wooden DIY book nook kit that turns an old-fashioned instrument shop into a small display for your bookshelf. Through a row of burgundy arches, miniature violins, a cello, an ornate pipe organ and a golden gramophone share a warmly lit room. It is a scene for people who notice the instruments in a shop window and would happily stop to look a little longer.
A shop window full of instruments
The curved window frames give the front its rhythm, while the instruments create different shapes and heights inside. Look beyond the larger pieces for rolled music sheets, the little work area and its tool rack. The display moves from the instruments a customer would admire to the small objects that make the workshop feel used, giving you more to discover as you look around the room.
Make room for an afternoon of making
Set out the parts, put on a favorite recording and work through the shop one small section at a time. Raising the storefront, arranging the instruments and finishing the workbench give the project a satisfying progression. You can pause between stages and return to a scene that grows more familiar with every piece you place.
A bookshelf display for a love of music
Once assembled, the book nook brings an instrument-shop scene to a shelf of novels, music books or concert keepsakes. Warm lighting draws attention through the windows to the smaller objects within. For a musician, a classical music enthusiast or a miniature collector, Bach Strings offers a hands-on project with a subject that feels personal: a little shop made around something you love.
