I inherited a rather old violin from my fathers estate in a very sad state of disrepair. At 72, and having retired, I decided to learn to play it. I was very apprehensive about the condition. Ed explained what needed to be done and spent a great deal of time carefully restoring the instrument. I have watched him work and he is very meticulous to detail. He clearly understood how much the violin meant to me. I am now playing and am deeply grateful to Ed for his work. Will highly recommend!

Great violin shop. They had gone above and beyond for the service on the violin!!

Ed overhauled my cello and now it sounds like a different cello. Proud to play it now. I have recommended Ed to another cello player and overhauled hers too. We now play in Church together and it sounds fantastic! Thanks Ed

Ed is an artist working in a field of Craftsmen.

Ed was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with my cello. It was pretty beat up before he fixed it up. He only spent an hour with us, but he managed to fix the bridge, all of the strings, and every small detail on my instrument. All the while he was explaining it and showing me what I should do to make it last longer until I decide to buy a new one. I highly recommend him.

I highly recommend his services. Ed is very passionate about his work. He let me watch him set up my daughter’s violin and explained what he was doing and why. I left with some new instrument knowledge and a piece of mind knowing I brought the violin to the right man. He went out of his way to get the violin done in time for my daughter’s b-day.Very professional work and a very classy musician.

Ed is a super guy, a true craftsman and very reasonable. I brought in a couple of violins that had been sitting for a few years in a closet. He diagnosed, repaired and educated me on proper care right on the spot. If you need major or minor work done, dont go anywhere else, see the Stringdokter.

Was very impressed by Ed’s knowledge and service! Will definitely be returning and would highly recommend to others! Thanks for your help Ed!

Cant say enough positive things about Ed. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about string instruments, but just an all around neat person to talk with. So passionate about music. Went in for a bow rehair and peg to be fixed, but he went above and beyond in my opinion. Did and adjustment on my sound post and I cannot even begin to explain adequately how that one fix has made my violin sound like an entirely new instrument. Really! I am scared to play sometimes because the sound is so much fuller and louder that I dont want a mistake to be broadcast - LOL. I will be going back for a new bridge as he suggested. Seriously, dont go anywhere else for string work. You will not be disappointed.

Ed really did a great job on my violin, he is also a super sweet guy. He definitely knows what he is doing.

He restrung my wifes violin and did a great job!

Very friendly and knowledgable. Passionate about the violin and his customer.

Ed was very informative about the condition of my instrument and my options before proceeding with any work. No up sale here. He also has some very nice pre owned instruments at what I consider great prices. I would send any of my musician friends here. Buy from Ed so we have a local source for a trained luthier and great pricing without driving 200 miles. My advice for sure is you are looking for an instrument to rent or own see the Doktor first.

Excellent service Plus hes a cool guy !

SUPPORT your local small business. My daughters cello kept having issues and school orchestra people would fix it. Well school is almost over so it was time to turn in her rented cello back to school. After the last time someone fixed her cello it still needed more repair and major parts gotb broken. I signed a contract saying I would be responsible for any damages to the cello. I asked my cousin if she knew of someone and she gave me the information of the String Dokter, Mr. Ed Everest. I reached out to Mr. Evereat and he was very kind and professional on the phone. Then I met Mr. Everest at his business along with my two kids. It only took 2 days for Mr. Everest and he charged me a very reasonable price. He explained to me the first day I met him how he was going to fix. He let me know about how long it would take him to fix it and it took exactly two days. He was very kind to my kids and made them laugh. If Iwould have returned the cello to the school, they would have gave it to the company that they rent instruments from and because they are a big, greedy corporation they would have charged me an arm and a leg to fix the damages. After the wonderful, very professional, and caring Mr. Everest fixed the cello it looked and sounded better than when the school give it to us at the beginning of the school. Thank you from the bottom of my daughters and my heart for being so attentive, patient, professional, and kindMr. Everest. The wonderful service Mr. Everest gave has made me want to in the near future rent a cello from him. I want to end this review with following hashtag. #SupportYourSmallBusinesses.

Thanks for your awesome advice and help!

Great service - buy from Ed

When my son needed a violin, we went to look for him there, although the location is sometimes a bit confusing, the search is worth, we attended the owner very good way, the same as his wife, has a variety of stringed instruments, we found several prices and very good quality, the atmosphere is very nice and personalizado.salimos happy there with a good acquisition.
