What's on the wall
“All on staff can repair and explain about all of the instruments and they spend a good bit of time helping you select the next step up.”
“I knew we couldn't make multiple trips, and we needed to get home to teach lessons, so a speedy fix was essential.”
“I found out about Ronald Sachs violin through my teacher of Cello, and I have found that they are the best service people I have ever contacted concerning my Cello.”
What players say again and again
“I have been using Ronald Sachs Violins for more than 20 years as a store and repair shop. The welcoming staff and great service on my instruments and bows always brings me back.”
“I bought my cello from Ron almost 17 years ago and I go back every time for maintenance and he never disappoints with his care and knowledge.”
“He was very kind and helpful throughout the process, and we were able to find a great instrument at a good price.”
“We made an appointment for my son to try instunents. From the first phone call to the experience in the store, everything was top notch.”
From the reviews
My husband and I are music teachers with a studio of 40+ students. When my daughter dropped her 1/8th size cello and broke the bridge we were so frustrated. We live an hour away from Ronald Sachs in Athens, GA, and it is very challenging for us to get over to Atlanta.
Today we had our first experience at Ronald Sachs Violins and it will definitely not be our last. We were shopping for a cello upgrade for our high school daughter and had many questions. The staff was very patient with us while she tried out different instruments and we asked all of our questions.
Ron and his staff at the Lilburn store location have repaired, restored and maintained my professional instruments and bows for 20 years. Their work is. . . perfect, to keep it simple. The violin set up is very clean and open, and the bow rehairs are perfectly balanced and weighted.
Fantastic selection of instruments and great staff. I had an idea of what I wanted when I came in and the staff helped me find a violin to get back into playing. I wasn’t pressured into buying more than I needed and ended up with exactly what I went for. Great sounding instrument for a reasonable price.
Selling or trading gear at Ronald Sachs Violins
Ronald Sachs 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.
