My violin is a century-old Italian instrument I've had most of my life, so its care matters deeply to me. I returned from a trip last summer to find the glue had loosened -- the fingerboard was off and the neck warped. I was in a panic.

If I could give them more stars I would. I’m a bluegrass fiddle style player for over 13 years and needed a new violin.

I loved looking at the nice selection of ukuleles, which is what I was most interested in, but they have this little hidden gem of a store packed with brass, woodwind, and, as you would expect, all manor of stringed instruments. I am already planning another trip!
