What's on the wall
“I fell out of playing shortly after, and only recently have used them again for a bow rehair and appraisal.”
“These gentleman helped me repair a cello that probably wasn't even worth their time and they did it quickly, making it in time for a Christmas gift!”
“Zuckerman, a cellist, has provided lessons for me and I highly recommend him as a teacher.”
“My friends and I all play violin in the first few chairs in our orchestra in Carmel and we all get our instruments from here.”
What players say again and again
“Good staff, could repair my strings very quickly, within minutes, for a cheap price.”
“They suggested replacement components that were proper for the level of cello I had and didn't try to sell me the most expensive components for a beginner cello.”
From the reviews
My family and I have been customers of the Violin Shop of Old Carmel for over 7 years now. From renting through the different sizes, purchasing, upgrading, repairs, and re-hairs, we have come to think of them like family.
People are highly professional in music & musical string instruments (a little old school if you may) but the repairs are job well done! Their fees are very reasonable compared to other chain music stores whose associates do not even know anything about the instruments they sell!
Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to rent or buy a string instrument. The owner seems to care more about customer satisfaction than money.
The owners are very kind and give helpful recommendations to both beginner and advanced musicians. They are quick to repair instruments as well as make them. The instruments they make and sell are high quality. They are patient and care a lot about improving the musicians techniques during lessons.
Lessons at Violin Shop of Old Carmel
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Violin Shop of Old Carmel. 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.
