What's on the wall
“I have used them to replace my violin bridge and strings, glue an open seam and just general maintenance.”
“We have had great experiences here, from instrument repair to parts and services, and now we're taking advantage of their rent to own program.”
“We narrowed the selection down to two violas, and my daughter was able to take them both home for a trial week to try out and show her instructor.”
“I brought a Tenor Banjo and a Mandolin in for repairs and couldn't have been happier with my experience.”
“I came here a few months ago (just getting around to writing reviews now), as my violin was making a rattling sound and I could not for the life of me tell where it was from.”
What players say again and again
“They did a great job at explaining what needed to be done to an old family violin then brought it back to life!”
“The entire staff was extremely knowledgeable, and they made the buying process relaxing and enjoyable -- absolutely no sales pressure at all!”
“The staff is friendly, patient, and knowledge, not to mention skilled.”
“They had everything I needed and the repairs were made by a competent luthier for a reasonable price.”
From the reviews
We have had great experiences here, from instrument repair to parts and services, and now we're taking advantage of their rent to own program. The staff is friendly, patient, and knowledge, not to mention skilled. The store has a peaceful atmosphere, full of beautiful instruments, and is clean and well organized.
We had an incredible experience purchasing a viola for my high school daughter who is planning on being a music major in college. The entire staff was extremely knowledgeable, and they made the buying process relaxing and enjoyable -- absolutely no sales pressure at all!
I brought a Tenor Banjo and a Mandolin in for repairs and couldn't have been happier with my experience. They had everything I needed and the repairs were made by a competent luthier for a reasonable price. I've visited here several times over the years and am always impressed by their warmth and professionalism.
The Wyatts always take care of my fiddle problems and are such very nice people. They are extremely knowledgeable and honest without any overbearing "selling". Their repairs are well done and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend them when wanting to buy a new violin or rent one.
Selling or trading gear at Wyatt Violin Shop LLC
Wyatt Violin Shop LLC 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.
