From the reviews
Each person working here that I've met is kind, professional, and ready to answer questions; I've come to really appreciate how great a place this is for my family and for Lynchburg in general. There's a subtle high culture vibe here, but really they're as down to earth as any other great music store you know and love.
We stopped in to rent a violin for my young student. Rachel greeted us warmly right away and walked us through the process. I completed the simple paperwork while she sized my child for the instrument.
We’ve rented from Violins and More for several years and highly recommend. Staff are informative, efficient and friendly. They went above and beyond to support our daughter having a properly sized instrument in good working order. She needed replacement strings a few times and they were quick to help make that happen.
We just purchased our third bass here, and as both a parent and orchestra classroom teacher, I have never worked with a better provider of stringed instruments. Even their rentals are high quality- the kind that inspire practice, unlike some from other stores, which have poor tone and do not hold pitch.
Selling or trading gear at Violins and More of Lynchburg
Violins and More of Lynchburg 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.
