From the reviews
Friendly people and very helpful. I bought my violin from them and love it. I have been using it since freshman year of high school. I have also had them do repair work on my cello.
Becker Fine Stringed Instruments feels like the kind of shop that belongs in the long, unbroken story of strings—where a simple piece of wood becomes a voice. We rent a couple of kids’ violins here, and they’ve made the whole process easy—patient, helpful, and the sort of people who know that beginners need…
I have been extremely pleased by the professionalism, courtesy, and knowledge of Becker Fine Instruments. My daughter asked to start playing the violin, and while I have extensive musical knowledge and experience, I have none with strings.
Great selection. I have purchased a violin. Several bows, strings, rosin, music books etc. Friendly staff. Would highly recommend
Lessons at Becker Fine Stringed Instruments, LLC
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Becker Fine Stringed Instruments, LLC. 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.
