I had been going through a hard time a few years ago and wanted to learn a new skill and cross something off my bucket list to brighten myself up-- learn the cello! I had absolutely no idea how to go about doing that, but after a google search and one phone call to the Violin Shoppe, I was guided through the process in such an exceptionally kind and pressure-free way. I was able to rent a cello from them and they helped me find an amazing teacher. After almost three years of stress-free renting from them, I just bought my own cello from their shop last week and the experience was nothing short of phenomenal. David and Glen listened when I communicated what I was looking for and organized a private space for me to try out a few cellos so I wouldnt feel self-conscious. It is evident that they put an enormous amount of care into their shop and will go way out of their way to make their customers experiences wonderful ones.They are the epitome of what everyone looks for in a quality shop experience: thoroughly knowledgeable, skilled, welcoming, helpful, and kind. I honestly cannot recommend them enough and will most definitely be returning to them for anything I need in the future. My sincere gratitude to David and Glen!

Great place even if you are not close to Charlotte. Give them a call.

Very knowledgeable and quick repir at a very reasonable price!

I met the person callled David at front desk. He is so welcoming. I went there to purchase & enquire about guitar classes. He is so passionate that he has given all contacts for guitar lessons and had good conversation about learning a new instrument

Great place for all your violin needs

Wanted to take a moment to thank you guys for your level of hospitality. My wife has not played in quite some time and had trouble getting her new strings on. They put them on for her and let her try a few new bows after figuring out that was the problem. While having a conversation they asked if they could clean the violin and even offered to put marks on the neck for finger placement. We were only charged for the bow. Fantastic experience. You’re the only ones who will work on her violin from now on. Can’t thank you and your love for these instruments enough!

The owner was welcoming & very helpful. I came here because I wanted one on one service that I felt like I couldnt get at a big music retail store. They gave me what I was looking for here.

Glen is a fantastic and amiable guy and he really knows about every instrument in the shop. Me and my GF have zero idea about a cello and we are able to rent a cello with confidence after his detailed explanations & demonstrations. He is patient and I am sure he is an excellent violin teacher also.Jason

This shop epitomizes golden rule customer service. Their care and courtesy are calling cards. And their repair skills are beyond expectations. No reason to ever work with anyone else for string instrument needs.

Best place in Charlotte for anything for violin, viola, cello or bass. Call first.

Where in or around Charlotte can I get my violin appraised??? It was made around 1880 I know this for sure. Thanks for any info.

Really great guys enjoyed my visit.

Everyone here is so kind, helpful, and know what they are doing. They repaired my mothers old violin so I could learn on it, also gave me very helpful tips and advice for starting on the violin.Highly recommended, exceptional service.

Great selection, friendly & knowledgeable staff, reasonably priced.

Top notch!

I needed a cello piece quickly and they provided it. The price was reasonable too.The best part was walking into this old house with gleaming creeking hardwoods and hearing the beautiful sound of violin and cello playing. I wish I worked there. I could listen to that everyday.

Great place for renting string instruments. Incredibly nice, helpful, knowledgeable people that truly enjoy working with their customers. Very fair pricing and good availability.

They know what they’re doing! Helped my daughter get her violin in working order. ♥️

The moment I walked in I felt welcome. Being a new fiddle player I was nervous that these local shops would be pompous and condescending toward my basic questions, but these folks were great. Made me feel right at home and answered all of my questions. Ended up buying a shoulder rest, bridge mute, and dampit for my fiddle, and walked out happy. A quality store.

It has very nice string instrument! Im playing the viola and I got to try a very nice one. I also buy risen from here!

Wonderful place. Knowledgeable. Current musicians. Great violins, bows and rent for credit program.

Looks like a great place for all things violins.
