Jason Day
Oral History Information
Jason Day and his wife Jenna are the proud founders of Day Violins, a thriving violin-focused music shop in Chantilly, Virginia. Raised in a deeply musical household—his mother a flutist and his father a violist—Jason began playing the violin at the age of four through the Suzuki method. His musical journey continued with private lessons until he was 18, eventually leading him to teach aspiring young musicians. Along the way, Jason discovered a passion for instrument repair, which evolved into renting instruments and, ultimately, launching his own business. In 2014, supported wholeheartedly by Jenna, Jason transitioned from teaching to opening a full-service storefront offering sales, lessons, and expert repairs. Deeply grateful for the mentorship and support they received, the couple embraces a strong pay-it-forward philosophy, always seeking ways to support others in the music community. For Jason, one of the most rewarding aspects of his work is helping a musician discover the perfect instrument—one that resonates with their soul and brings their voice to life.
