I'm a local client of the St. Petersburg shop…read more After a fine first experience (Ron responded promptly to my voicemail, and then quickly replaced my violin's tailpiece and adjusted my soundpost and bridge), my 2nd and 3rd outreaches to him were utter fails. I mean, no response to my phone calls at all. I left another voicemail a week later, and an assistant whom I'd not seen or heard of before, responded (but was unaware and unconcerned about the previous lost call). Ironically, the about-face in Ron came after my expressing an interest in working for him as office manager or assistant there, after seeing how challenged he was overseeing multiple shops, and more, across the Southeast. After all, I'd just left behind lifelong close relationships with a couple violin shops back in California, being a lifelong professional violinist and also a retired financial client manager, who specialized in delivering customer service, including to difficult or high net worth clients. I'm unpleasantly surprised that this shop, so promising at first and so convenient for my needs (as it's only a 6-7 minute drive from home) won't work for me, after all. I'll drive all the way to another violin shop in Tampa for my future violin needs, as they have been responsive, helpful and even proactive in serving me thus far.

When I entered the shop, Diego was very inviting. Chris's communication, intelligence and honesty about what he needed to change on my instrument was comforting.

He even gave me a discount since I am a college student, and I am so thankful for their help!! Consider making a drive to John's Violin Company, as you will not regret it.
