"Had my grandfathers violin fully restored. They were able to establish its history, dating back 300 years by German luthier. Amazing job at a reasonable price. Couldn’t ask for better customer service!"

"Love the quality, details and care that go into each instrument! The added bonus of being able to grab some handmade accessories whenever I need them, and knowing each rosin, string cleaner etc. is made with quality ingredients, gives me piece of mind. Not to mention, the staff gave me such an enjoyable experience. Don’t forget to check out the cute boutique gifts as well!"
