An amazing gem of a violin/guitar shop in central Minnesota. Bob is knowledgeable and kind and went the extra mile for my son, who ended up with a beautiful violin that he will hopefully play for years. I can't recommend this shop enough. Also, it is located on a beautiful little farm - anyone who appreciates flowers, free-range chickens, and dogs will love this place.

Very nice guy and a cool shop. Fixed my mandolin up like new and repaired everything I asked better than expected. I will be going back to him for anything else I need fixed in the future

Great guy to work with. It is hard to find someone that is competent to work on your acoustic instruments. If you are looking for someone, Bob is your guy.

Bob helped me pick out a new Krutz violin and bow. I've only been playing about a year. After looking at at other shops that were intimidating for a beginner, I really appreciated Bob's advice and patience while I tried multiple instruments and bows. Really enjoying my new violin. Thanks, Bob!

So happy to have found Obligato Violin and Guitar Shop-Professional workmanship at an affordable price. Bob did an excellent job on the multiple repairs to my violin as well as a fitting a new bridge and bow re-hair. My violin has never sounded better!

Bob at Obligato Violin and Guitar Shop fixed a violin my great grandfather made (probably 100 years ago) that had been hanging on a wall with a slit in the side for silk flowers. Wow, he took a dysfunctional violin and made it look and sound absolutely beautiful! Thanks Bob!!! This is a beautiful family heirloom to treasure for generations.

I highly recommend Bob's Obligato Violin and Guitar Shop to any stringed player! Bob has been my violin and cello luthier for over 12 years. His workmanship is exemplary. Some of the high quality work I've had done by Bob includes bridges, sound-posts, seam repairs and bow rehairs. The shop is quaint and fully stocked with some delightful surprises, like the sweet, soprano ukulele I just took home today! I also found a nice second cello bow and some Melos Dark Cello Rosin. Score!
