This is a fantastic place for all things strings. Violins violas and cellos. Mick is so experienced with building and repairing. Julian was great. I highly recommend this place for any repairs or accessories for those instruments
I rented a Cello from them since I am visiting from Los Angeles and could not bring my own. The owner was able to find a suitable cello for me to rent on short notice so that I can practice for my auditions later that month. Beautiful Cello (basic bridge) but the sound is nice and it feels really nice to play like my personal cello. It's definitely made of great quality. I also bought 2 Larson strings (A & D) and Spirocore (G & C) for a reasonable price! ? will be coming back when needed.
Saturdays, Loveland is by appointment only, but I didn't know that when I went there to emergency-replace my lost rosin. They were very friendly and helpful. The place is closet-tiny, and so only one customer at a time is allowed in. They're on the second floor, so "wait outside" means in a quiet, carpeted hallway. I was impressed with their air of calm, their onobtrusive care for public safety, how full-service & knowledgeable the staff are, and how many violins and violin-things they fit into their extremely well-organized small space.
