The owner, Isaac Salchow, is dedicated to excellence. Customers have praised his commitment to quality, with one noting that he asked them to wait a bit so he could correct an issue with their bow. Another customer, cellist Li Yihang, was hesitant at first but ultimately had Isaac bake their cello bow, which greatly improved the sound and playability.
