Fabulous place. John is so knowledgeable about the instruments. Pleasant demeanor and extremely patient with our numerous novice questions concerning cellos. Master craftsman. Great stories as well. Couldn't recommend more highly.
I stopped by to drop off my daughter’s violin for repairs. The gentlemen took it in the back and said he could fix it in 10 minutes. To my surprise all it needed was a new set of strings and a couple minor adjustments. I couldn’t have asked for better service. I will definitely be buying my next violin here. Support local!
If you have a violin or cello and need restoration or you are looking to purchase an instrument Wamsley Violins is the place to go!! John does Amazing work and is extremely talented and does wonderful craftsmanship on all his instruments, and he is extremely knowledgeable. He fixed my cheaply made violin that I have gotten elsewhere. After 4 months of playing my violin the tailpiece broke. John knew immediately what the problem was and fixed my violin in under 10 mins. My violin sounds even better than before! They definitely have my business moving forward with my better sounding violin. Sometime in the future I would absolutely love to own one of his gorgeous cello.
