What's on the wall
“They confirmed that this was an instrument worth preserving and we discussed the needed repairs with Justin, one of their luthiers.”
“They were very polite, friendly, and fixed up my violin easily 😁 I will definitely come here in the future with any problems I encounter, maybe even some lessons.”

“Wonderful violin store - incredibly knowledgeable and super nice family-run store.”
“Beautiful craftsmanship and fairly decent prices (hope you have insurance though) the owner is very friendly and loves hearing people try out the instruments in the practice rooms.”
“My daughter also takes violin lessons here - and we enjoy each time we’re there.”
From the reviews
My wife received her grandfather's 100-year old violin from her mother at Thanksgiving last year. The family has many memories of him playing his "fiddle" over the years. I immediately noted that it had a very serious top crack.
Amazing shop, friendly knowledgeable staff. I've purchased a violin from this shop, and had a good amount of work done on different violins. If you're looking to purchase your first or 5th instrument, they ensure the experience is unforgettable.
Great place to buy a stringed instrument or have repairs. Beautiful craftsmanship and fairly decent prices (hope you have insurance though) the owner is very friendly and loves hearing people try out the instruments in the practice rooms.
This is a beautiful shop to visit without any other reason. The instrument displays and general antique vibe is delightful. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. There are music lessons offered on site. There are so many different levels of musicians coming through the door.
