The Long Island Violin Shop

Jan 2026

The best experience I've ever had when purchasing a violin. Jim listened to what I said I wanted. There was never a hard sell and I wasn't told what I really wanted. No time pressure on coming to a decision. I played for as long as I needed and which ever violin I chose. I walked out with the best violin and bow for me. I love what I bought (a Kono) and can't stop playing it. Great after sales care too. Don't hesitate to go there.

My daughter has been taking lessons and renting her violin from this location for the past several years. The teachers have been excellent, helping her grow as a musician in her school orchestra program, NYSSMA preparation, and now youth orchestra. The staff has always been helpful and supportive, especially with maintenance and size changes as she's grown. We just purchased her first instrument to own; the rental program credit made a lovely violin much more affordable and she's just thrilled with it!

My 7 year old granddaughter is taking violin lessons at the Smithtown location. Marissa Faltings is her instructor. Marissa is an excellent violinist and instructor. It is evident that she loves what she does and she truly has the patience of Job. My granddaughter is thriving under Marissa’s tutelage. I highly recommend her as an instructor and just a wonderful person.Leslie Drake
