I feel extremely lucky to have gotten to know Mr. David Bonsey, who is without a doubt one of the best people I’ve ever met in the music world. Discovering his shop truly felt like finding a house of treasures. Mr. Bonsey generously selected from his best wood collection to craft a new bridge and sound post for my cello, which made a significant improvement in its sound. His adjustments are done with great care and patience, he’s always willing and genuinely happy to help me explore how to bring out the best in my instrument... read more

We had an amazing and personal experience finding a perfect violin for our son at David's shop. He took so much time to help him try all the options and find "his" violin. I could not recommend him more to anyone. He is extremely knowledgeable and we learned so much from him. I would recommend to anyone looking for a high quality instrument and a personalized experience from one of the best makers in the business.

I brought in my viola to get one thing adjusted and David consulted me on a few other things that could use work as well with no charge. I had such a wonderful experience and he is a lovely person. Will definitely be going back and highly recommend.

Today my son and I stopped by David Bonsey’s violin shop to show a violin we have that needs attention. David is very knowledgeable with excellent social skills. He was able to accommodate time for us and because we are from out of town he was able to make the necessary adjustments to our violin in one day. I highly recommend David for any violinist looking for a luthier in Manhattan.
