    wish i could include before and after sound, but violin now rings like a bell.
    Liz G.

    Craig is a rare human. Kind, patient, very , very reasonable, both in his approach to doing the finest repair for your instrument, and in his prices. He understands the emotional attachment some of us have to our instruments. After the repair he did, my fiddle sounds Better than Ever. Which, of course, makes me sound better. (No small feat). My fiddle had been very poorly repaired - the repair made it unplayable - but now I am in Fine Fiddle (pardon the pun but it's true). Very Grateful to Craig.

    A rare find these days. Truly great service, done with care, and the best prices anywhere. Craig is awesome. Call around, get pricing, and you'll be here in the end and you'll end up leaving as a happy, life-long client.

    Craig is my cello's savior! I was teaching at a student's home when their cat named Bach(I kid you not), tipped over my case. It landed on my scroll, breaking it at a previous repair site. I took it to all the big name places in Los Angeles and everyone said I needed to have a neck graft costing somewhere in the 10K range. I had insurance on it and they were willing to reimburse me that amount, but I really didn't want it to have such a major repair. It's a delicate cello from the 1750's and I was also wary of a possible change in tone. I brought it to Craig and he said it could be fixed by putting some sort of brace on the inside that he designed. He got it done for around 90% less than the cost of a graft and my cello sounds even better than it did before!

    I need to fix my old 1/4 French cello which I bought it long while ago. 1/4 cello was in pretty bad shape,it had one big crack. It needs to have crack repair/glue!! I did my google search and I found this repair shop in Pasadena. Craig was very friendly,knowledgeable and also patient . Most importantly,I am very impressed by his service charge. (1/2 Cello Bow rehairs only $20) I am very happy that Craig did a incredible job ,bring my mini cello back to alive! I will definitely go back in the near future for my full size cello! My Italian cello needs a new endpin and cello surface cleanup. Graig told me that my cello did not look very dirty and suggested me to buy a cleaner to polish out the rosins. He also kindly taught me cleaning steps. I am so happy to bring my cello back to its shine by using this $6 cleaner!! & Endpin was perfectly set by Graig. By the way, I spent $180 to clean a few years ago at a violin shop in Pasadena.

    What a wonderful violin!

    I have gone to Craig for years and years. He is honest and is a master Luther... This month, I brought a friends violin to him for bridge, tail gut, strings and bow re-hair. I had gotten an estimate from another local repairman a few weeks back. That quote was 500 bucks. Craig's price was $172.00 total! The bow re-hair was only 22 dollars! I have contacts within a well know violin store in Oakland but Covid made travel unwise. Craig mentioned that he had a very nice Chinese Violin for an outstanding price. I shifted gears, knowing that Craig's recommendation always was outstanding and that it was probably half the price of another shop's. Well, he surprised me again! It came with a bow and case. Just plain unbelievable. But the best was to come when my friend a professional session violinist and member of 4 Los Angeles Orchestras begged me to sell it to her!!! I said sorry, better call Craig... It is rare now a days to friend someone with old world pride of workmanship and an even temperament. But I did learn that Craig has done this work since he was 16 years old, so he know what he's doing. My highest recommendation. Great prices on strings and accessories, also. Paul

    Nice paintings in the violin shop .

My first ever experience was too long ago, but picking up a professional instrument and fresh reeds (student and burgundy professional) was a game changer. For starters, the quality of sound produced form this oboe was pure love. I called in to ask about oboes and was directed to submit a form online, to which JP responded to within a few days. My only disappointment was having to wait a few weeks for the instrument, but once I had the instrument in hand... ooh I've never felt such joy in a while! Being able to produce quality sound from an oboe... once it's in tune? One of the best feelings ever for a returning beginner! (iykyk) The rental forms were fairly straightforward and clear, and so was payment. While I came 20 minutes before close, I was thankful that Justin was available to address my needs despite having an event literally in the next hour. Returning? Yes! Potentially to purchase a future instrument. RDG- quality you can trust! Scared to know if it's the right fit? They even allow trials, and I highly encourage taking advantage of that!

    Absolutely awesome, genuinely nice people - they know their stuff and take the time to explain…read moreeverything.
