From the reviews
I went back to Kenosha with my violin yesterday to purchase a bow. I had visited there a few months ago and was treated very well. Professional, knowledgeable owners. They moved!!!
Have been renting instruments from Classic for my daughter for several years now. They offer very nice instruments with great sound! Staff is always very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful.
Took my son trumpet in to get repaired. They were very upfront and honest about what the repair would cost with a certain circumstance and recommended another cheaper option which I really appreciated.. I would definitely come back just for the honesty alone. Thank you for the repair..
They are always so helpful with whatever we need when it comes to taking care of our kids instruments. We have had them cleaned and repaired at the store. Very reasonably priced and quick to take are of us. Thankful for this local store.
Selling or trading gear at Classic Violins, Woodwind and Brass
Classic Violins, Woodwind and Brass 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.
Lessons at Classic Violins, Woodwind and Brass
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Classic Violins, Woodwind and Brass. 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.
