From the reviews
I have been a patron of this establishment for 25+ years and have always found them to be professional courteous and dependable . Whether it's for repair or buying an instrument, they have always come through for me . When you find a place that you can rely on is rare these days . This is one of those places .
In the world of mega-chain stores, it is so lovely to have this family owned & operated business who cares about what they do & the people they serve ! Old school values of integrity & honesty are what you’ll find at Murphy’s music. They’ve gone above & beyond for us often repairing our violins on a moments notice.
I had an incredible experience at Bob Murphy's. My son's Cello had a defective End Pin. Rob installed a new one for us while we waited and gave me an amazing price!! Every staff member I spoke with were courteous and helpful. I will bring all my music needs to Bob Murphy's going forward. I highly recommend them!
Bob Murphy's is the best! We had a viola emergency when our daughter's instrument cracked during her All-County rehearsal after falling onto the floor, with another rehearsal and performance just a day later.
Lessons at Bob Murphy's Violin Shop
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Bob Murphy's 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.
