From the reviews
I'm a cello student and still fairly new to the neighborhood, I had a difficult time finding the Violin shop at first but I finally found them and I'm glad I did.
I have been dealing with Cadenza or many. Three of my children have received their first instruments and played throughout their elementary, middle school and high school years and even on into college years. Cadenza is responsive helpful, and the staff is so friendly. Great place and good people!
This is the best place in town if you're looking to rent, buy, repair or even learn how to play a violin. Marcus is a very kind and understanding man who will get you fixed up in no time at all. Thanks again for helping me with my kid's violins.
The staff is very kind, helpful, and very understanding. If you need to rent, buy, or get your instrument repaired I highly recommend this place.
Selling or trading gear at Cadenza Violins
Cadenza Violins comes up for buying and trading used gear — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the trip go better. First, bring the whole package: the case or gig bag, the original tremolo arm or bridge parts, the paperwork if you have it — a complete rig is worth real money more than a bare instrument, and it saves the back-and-forth of "can you bring the case in?" Second, know that trade credit almost always beats the cash offer, usually by a healthy margin — if you're upgrading anyway, price your old gear as a trade against the new one before you take cash. Either way, expect the offer to be below what the gear sells for on the wall; the gap is the store's margin for setup, warranty, and sitting on it until the right buyer walks in.
