From the reviews
As a professional musician, I have been going to Cassandra Strings for many years to repair my 1800 acoustic bass. The expertise is the highest quality and the prices can't be beat. It is so reassuring that you can get the highest-grade repair for a great, affordable price.
Bought a bow from Cassandra's back in Dec/Jan time frame. Not a top of the line bow but in the $250 range. My daughter practices on her Violin often and really puts her bows to the test. Had to bring it back in twice for repair (re-haired?). Staff couldn't have been nicer or more accomodating.
We had a PHENOMENAL experience at Cassandra’s Strings! We’d been renting from a different company previously and when it came time to buy, I didn’t feel comfortable purchasing there. Cassandra’s Strings was recommended to us and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.
Great place!! We have been renting from Cassandra for about 10 years. They are always easy to work with and pleasant, patient folks! I feel their rent to buy program is the best in the northwest suburbs. And the insurance is great! My daughter just recently dropped her cello and the neck snapped off.
Lessons at Cassandra Strings, Inc.
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Cassandra Strings, Inc.. 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.
