What a great experience! It was bittersweet turning in our violin, but we were unsure if my child would stick with this instrument when we started out. She did play, actually, for 2 years, and we rented the whole time. Reasonable pricing, and an amazing staff. Highly recommend for all of your strings needs!

Rebecca was extremely welcoming and helpful and I can't wait to get playing with my new bow. I'm so happy to have found such a great, local luthier. I highly recommend a visit!

I just completed my sophomore year of college studying musical performance and my cello needed a new bridge. My instructor recommended Annapolis Bows and Violins. I was hesitant at first because I live in Salisbury, but the 2 hour drive was well worth it! Not only did they replace my warped cello bridge with a brand new one, they also rehaired my bow, fixed the varnish on the body of my cello since some of the edges were chipped, and also replaced the tail piece with new fine tuners. Rebecca, the shop owner, knows her stuff and made sure that I was satisfied with the improvements made. She made it clear that as a fellow musician, she heard, understood, and took care of her customer's concerns or any questions. Her goal is to enhance sound quality and optimize performance. Great for novice and more advanced string instrumentalists alike! Appointment was made online through their website and all improvements were completed within a single week. Definitely will be returning in the future with any stringed instrument needs.

I just got a bow rehair and it was awesome. Exactly what I wanted and like, even if it is not what is recommended. It was also pretty fast. They also clean my bow nicely which I did not ask but my bow really needed it. One of the best experience with bow rehair I have had. I was really impressed! They are my to go place now.

This shop is a gem and 5 stars doesn't do it justice. My violin had a crack on the back, right under the post. Fixing it requires opening up the violin and applying a patch. It's like brain surgery for the violin and requires a lot of skill and patience. Before I knew about Annapolis Bows & Violin I took it to 2 other shops and I was told the repair was very expensive and that it was not worth it for my violin. Rebecca, on the other hand, fixed this extremely well and professionally, and for a fraction of the cost. I was amazed both by the quality of her work and the price. And if that was not enough, since I needed a new bow and could not decide at the shop which one to pick, she lent me 3 for a week, to try them out at home. And then, another 3 for another week. I'm still in awe of my fortune, my violin got a new life. Rebecca is extremely nice and works with the clients on their needs, she is very skilled and must really like what she does. Thank you Rebecca and God bless!

Very personalized service! We are so impressed with this beautiful local shop, where we rented my sons string instrument ? He is a beginner and she was so patient and knowledgeable! Very nice quality selection with rental plans. We didn’t expect to be renting a brand new bow, viola and case, but that’s the quality of rental we received. We feel more confident knowing if we need repairs or help she is located nearby with expert repair. Thank you!

Amazing service with absolutely fantastic communication. I could go on and on... as first time violin player parents, this shop and it's people have just been a Godsend. There is no comparison.

We took my daughter's viola to Rebecca for peg compound and new strings. She expertly completed the job within 15-20 minutes while answering our questions about the instrument. We also left the bow there to be re-haired. It didn't take very long for Rebecca to complete that job either and now my daughter is extremely happy with all the improvements! The prices are reasonable and we were very pleased with everything. In addition, Rebecca has a warm & friendly vibe that made us feel like we've been acquainted for some time rather than just meeting her for the first time. The overall experience reminds me that there are still amazing small businesses in our community that need our support as much as we need them!

I wouldn't go anywhere else for instrument repairs and bow rehairs-- Rebecca's work is superb and reasonably priced. Rebecca has also been very helpful with teacher recommendations, instrument rentals, and accessories like stands and shoulder rests. We are so lucky to have her in Annapolis!

Annapolis Bows & Violins did an amazing job rehairing my violin bow and the price was very reasonable. I was so impressed with the work that I ended up renting my son’s instrument from this shop for his school orchestra. The rental program is affordable and easy. When we broke a string on my son’s violin this fall, we were able to bring it in immediately for a free repair. Highly recommend Annapolis Bows & Violins for any string instrument owner. I’m looking forward to upgrading my violin case here in the new year.

Love this small, woman-owned business! The violins we have rented are very nice and Becca has been great to work with as far as sizing, and swapping bow sizes when we had an issue.
