What's on the wall
“Super rare to find someone still making instruments this way (and in our area no less) from a block of wood.”
“On the top of that Roumen is a professional luthier, violin maker, where each of our instruments is set up with comfort and playability in mind.”
“They make renting instruments easy and affordable, and their lesson programs are great for all ages and skill levels.”
“Being confronted with the request from my young one to have piano lessons I chose this place too and never regret it.”
“Roumen booked an on-call, unscheduled all-day appointment to restore my multi-prize-winning museum piece violin to a condition exceedingly improved upon from its original glory!”

From the reviews
Roumen and Dani are wonderful business owners. Roumen booked an on-call, unscheduled all-day appointment to restore my multi-prize-winning museum piece violin to a condition exceedingly improved upon from its original glory!
Solo Classic is a wonderful, family owned, one stop shop for all your music needs. From music lessons to instrument rental/purchase, they provide great quality services. All their teachers are professional musicians with many years of teaching experience. Roumen is a great violin maker as well as restorer.
We recently moved to the area and rented a cello form Dani and Roumen. Very pleased with the level of attention and care we received. They gave our daughter several cellos to try and even offered her to go to one of their practice rooms alone in one of their practice rooms so that she could feel more comfortable…
We have been renting violin and viola for the last three years from Solo Classic. The owners Dani and Roumen are providing outstanding customer service. Last minute tune up or bridge adjustment, no problem, they always got our back.
Lessons at Solo Classic
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Solo Classic. 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.
