What's on the wall
“They also charge reasonable repairs (warning he really doesn't like working on electric instruments but he can do it depending on what the issue is).”
“As parents of a beginning violinist they were very patient and explained what the important functions of an instrument were and what he needed to really progress in his playing.”
What players say again and again
“They will personally help you with setup so your comfortable with an instrument with chin rest and shoulder rest.”
“They know their stuff about their violins and other string instruments and it is clear that it's their passion which really shines through when you speak to them.”
From the reviews
I’d been wanting to visit this shop for many years, but hadn’t done so as I was no longer playing. Now that I’ve picked up the violin again, I decided that it was time to finally see what this magical place is about.
Hands down the best Violin shop in the local area. Mr. J Brown is a really nice man, along with his wife, his dogs and his cats that regularly inhabit his shop (be careful if you have allergies!).
This professionally run string shop is the very best one between Temecula and the East side of LA....in the 15 - 10/210 corridor. I personally know Jim and Debbie Brown, they will go out of their way to help you with your needs. They have great instruments to sell and rent.
We came from Idaho to visit and wanted to stop by Jim and Debbie's shop after speaking with Debbie over the phone a few weeks ago. We are looking for a 16‘" viola for my son, and it has been difficult to try and find one in most "music" stores. Jim and Debbie are so friendly and knowledgeable in string instruments.
