I bought violin here. I highly rate this place because the staff are so friendly and help/guide to choose right instrument. They give right advice to kids and motivate them to learn. I felt post servicing the instrument sounded really well. One of the best shops to buy and rent instruments. Their after purchase care is really good.

The service was very friendly and professional - Olivia played the violins for us, then gave us time to try them out ourselves until we chose the one we wanted to purchase. The exchange with the rental was seamless and helped to cover some of the cost of our new instrument. The lifetime free servicing is an amazing offer. Highly recommended!

We recently purchased a violin and it can be an overwhelming experience however we had the most incredible service. Nick was extremely knowledgeable and really took the time to show us all our options and explain in depth the various violins. Outstanding customer service and couldn’t recommend this shop and staff enough!

Very happy with my recent purchase. Staff are very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Violin was carefully packed and safely arrived on the next day. I will highly recommend them to others. Special thanks to Max, Angela and Mia for helping me select the right violin for my dad. The shop has many quality violins suit for different budget.

Paul served us beautifully. It took us 3 hours to select a suitable advanced violin. Paul left us alone to do our thing and when we needed him he was able to give us appropriate choices. We found our forever violin because he was able to cater to our needs. He is able to give you wonderful background and information about the violins too.
