Miguel's Violin & Cello Shop is a great place to find violins and cellos. The shop owner is very friendly and helpful, offering guidance on selecting the right size instrument. He is also knowledgeable about repairs and can assist with tuning, stringing, and other maintenance tasks. Customers appreciate his willingness to help beginners, providing advice and resources to get started. The shop offers rentals as well as purchases.
Miguel is experienced and kind. He loves art and music. He answers questions and can mend and repair. He is part of the experience- a good one! We have been back twice and will definitely be back again to level up the next cello. His shop is like a museum!

Great find in Jacksonville. Miguel the owner was very nice and knowledgeable. Found out that my violin is insured for much less than it should be. Will be returning to remedy this and for all violin repair needs

My violin started sounding pretty terrible two shows into the @vitaminstringquartet tour. Even though probably no one in the audience noticed, I did, and really, that's what matters. So I took it to Miguel Melenchon at @jacksonvilleviolins and he adjusted it back into tip top shape (it needed a bridge reposition, soundpost adjustment and string height adjustment) and I'm super grateful. He's also got a super cool collection of string instruments of various worldwide cultures in his shop. He's the man. Thanks Miguel!!!
