Fantastic service, great luthiers. Had my soundpost replaced a few months ago (Wish I could remember the womans name! I really wanted to send you a thank you card!) My violin hasn't sounded this good since I've owned it, and I've had it for about 22 years. And the price was extremely reasonable. Thank you to everyone at the shop,and I will definitely be back and send business your way. <3 

Business response:

Thank you, Erika! We are so glad you are happy with our service. Cheryl was the luthier who worked on your violin. Come by anytime and say hi!
