I brought in a cello that needed extensive restoration. He did an amazing job!! It looked and sounded beautiful! His prices were so reasonable too! I would highly recommend and will not hesitate to go back again should the need arise!

If you are in need of any violin, cello or bass🎻 repairs, leasing or purchase, I highly recommend Johnson's Violin!! John is knowledgeable with over 45 years of experience, he plays for many local orchestras and his wife does private lessons. We had no idea how to size a violin and what to even look for, and within 15 minutes of walking in his shop we knew size, why that size and he also showed my daughter how to take care of the violin at home.

We stopped in to help our 6th grader try out some instruments to decide what she might want to play. It was a fantastic and educational experience for both of us. John took time out of his day to share with us each instrument, and then to determine the correct size for the instrument my daughter liked most. I would highly recommend doing business with Johnson's violins.

Absolutely fantastic service. John is great and is incredibly knowledgeable. The only place I take my bows for rehairs. John and Rhonda are both part of the local music scene and it really shows in the way they run the shop. Would give them 6 stars if I could.
