Over the years Ifshin has assembled a large personal collection of rare French bows and Italian violins. In 2008, Ifshin Violins designed, built and moved to a much larger studio in El Cerrito, California. In 1981, Ifshin had only two part-time employees. The workshop has grown and prospered, and today there is a staff of 16.

Jay Ifshin is a member of the Appraisers Association of America and is frequently called upon to examine stringed instruments and bows.
