From the reviews
It can be daunting to walk into a music store as an adult beginner with no prior experience with fretless stringed instruments. The knowledgeable and friendly staff at Beautiful Music Violin Shop (in beautiful Lawrence, Kansas) helped me select a good beginner’s upright bass, bow and bag.
I’ve been a customer of Beautiful Music for over 12 years and when I need anything repaired or adjusted, JJ Hanson is the only person I trust to work on my stuff. After he does a setup on a violin, it will resonate from just the sound of someone talking next to it. Fair prices and an awesome shop.
A lifelong violin player, trained Suzuki and classical. I found myself gigging in bands as an adult, with folk, red dirt, singer-songwriter, and bluegrass bands. I wanted an instrument that was affordable, yet met my standards of quality.
The staff at Beautiful Music are among the most friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable people I know. I have taken my upright bass to them for adjustments, modifications, and suggestions for strings and set-up.
Lessons at Beautiful Music Violin Shop
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Beautiful Music Violin Shop. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments and rentals on hand for exactly this reason.
