Customer Testimonials

A fantastic man to deal with really down to earth really knows his stuff and is not out to push the most priciest violin on you a real gent a professional [sic] in his job would highly recommend him.

 

Hugo and his sister were absolutely amazing. They helped me value, revive and repair my old instrument. Hugo's dedication to his craft, patience and commitment to teach me how to clean and maintain it were astounding. I'm sad I'm no longer down the road but am so glad to have met them and would highly recommend.

 

Very impressed. Excellent selection of fine antique violin and bows. Repaired an old bow of mine to excellent condition, also and bought my most recent violin from there. Cannot rate them highly enough.
