I recently purchased a new violin from Frank Marchitto. The entire experience was quite pleasurable. I gave him a price range and I was given the opportunity to try violins until I found one that suited me. After having it for a few days I needed an adjustment and Frank was very accommodating with an appointment. I found him to be very friendly and knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I would definitely go back again. Barb H
I’ve been going to Frank for years now. I’m a cello player and he recently straightened out my bridge and fixed some cosmetic damage to the instrument. Very humble, down to earth guy and is more than fair when it comes to pricing. Would highly recommend
Located in the heart of old Schenectady, this violin shop is one of a kind. I took my six-year-old daughter to the shop about a year ago to get her a 1/4 violin. We were amazed by its down-to-earth setting and yet classical ambience - you only see those in the movies these days. Frank is a very warm and knowledgeable luthier, and he fixed my daughter with a Core Academy 1/4 violin outfit. Recently, my daughter was ready for a 1/2 size violin and she wanted to visit Frank's shop again. Indeed, Frank fixed her with a 1/2 violin made by Robert A. Dolling ( Markneukirchen 1925) - What a find! The girl loves it and goes to bed with it :)..
