Brought my violin in for a new bridge a while back and it’s never sounded better. I had almost given up on it. I don’t know if it’s the new bridge, the setup, or maybe they sprinkled some fairy dust on it, but it’s a joy to play now.

Very kind people, extremely knowledgeable in their craft. My daughter has been going here for her orchestra needs for the past year or so and I’m thankful for them!
