From the reviews
Excellent staff and amazing violin instructors! Highly recommend coming here if interested in taking lessons for a string instrument.🎻
My son is in middle school and we have rented his violin through Schultz strings for the past two years. We’ve been in a multiple times to get strings replaced and they are always quick, friendly, and knowledgeable. I’m very happy we decided to rent through them.
This is a phenomenal string shop with the best rental program that allows all of your rental money to go towards your future purchase of an instrument. They have quick and excellent customer service. They are excellent at string repairs, and they have reasonable prices.
We so enjoy the Schultz Strings shop. We have 2 youth violin players and this shop is always able to help us with all our needs. The staff is always ready to take the time to make sure we have all our questions answered. I'd highly recommend if you are just getting started or have played for a long time.
Lessons at Schultz Strings
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Schultz Strings. 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.
