The Winters are the kindest most considerate string shop owners I have met. Each person on their staff operates at a high level with attention to every detail when addressing your string needs. They provide excellent rentals and can accommodate any stringed instrument request, I highly recommend them! read more

If you are looking for a personal experience instead of your typical sales I recommend going to Miami String Haus. You learn so much from the staff about your purchase walk out feeling great about it. Not once did I feel like I asked to many questions. Thank you to the team for their patience while my daughter picked her next instrument. Will happily return & refer them. read more

I came in right as the shopped and called a bit before asking for a quick low C string replacement and I got everything I asked for and more. Allan helped me out a great deal so I can get back to my show in Naples and I even ended up walking away with a better bow and new stopper. I cannot express how grateful I am for this luthier to help me out and I'd recommend it to anyone needing orchestral instruments, accessorie, or even string replacements. Thank you so much . read more

Seemingly good selection and very cordial but they're really sharks in disguise. The level of greed is quite despicable as it is coated in sweetness. read more

These guys are great. My cello had an exceedingly annoying, stubborn wolf tone. I purchased my cello there several years ago. They have always given great service, been very knowledgeable, and have a great selection. I took my cello to have it serviced. Charlie and Dale worked several hours. They would not give up, trying all sorts of possible solutions. I was very happy when they were able to get rid of the wolf tone. Charlie and Dale impressed me yet again with their tenacity, professionalism, and work ethics. I would recommend them for anything from repairs to instrument parts or purchases. I want to thank both of them for fixing a very annoying problem. Eddie Miami read more

Extremely unprofessional and unethical in their interactions would strongly not recommend. The most unprofessional business owner I have ever interacted with. When consigning my violin and selling my bow I ran into some minor issues with cashing a check. 1.) When calling the business and trying to find an alternative resolution the owner tried to extract money from me falsely stating that a check costs 150$ to cancel, acted in a condescending and haughty manner as if his time was the most valuable thing in the world. Tried to and attempted to extract money from me and weirdly accused me of trying to cash a check twice. During my actual interactions with him in person- several times berated employees for taking too long to inspect the violin, consistently displayed a contemptuous, haughty attitude. 2.) They failed to advertise the violin online for the actual consignment. Owner was very aggressive in his pursuit of me consigning the violin probably because he has no intention of actually trying to sell it. When expressing concerns about the contract they failed to make any alterations, and after retaining an attorney it is abundantly clear that they took advantage of me. These are extremely dishonest and unethical people and I would steer clear from doing any form of business with them. read more

Will never go there again! Charles talks down to you. As if you don't know what work you want done on your instrument. My violin was not done as promised on two separate dates. Also. He pulls prices out of thin air. There is no standard fee for work. He makes it up as he goes along. A very negative experience! read more

As a businessman myself I'm drawn towards value more than anything else, doesn't matter the price. If that's what you're drawn to as well, I doubt you'll find anything better anywhere in Miami. A vast selection of stringed instruments, old and new. I came to Charly (Miami Strings) to find my sons 2nd Cello. What I found was a Cello my son will never need to update, ever! Between their amazing luthiers and Charly's global knowledge and experience he found us a Cello from Germany that was fitted to my son's specifications as if it were a suit. He promised it for Christmas and he delivered. Honest, knowledgeable, friendly and experienced. If you're looking for your next stringed instrument, give Miami String Haus a try, you won't regret it. read more

Excellent repair services, I was very satisfied when I took my damaged violin here. These really are the best luthiers in South Florida!

Was in miami shores and was searching for a nearby string shop to get a shoulder rest for my violin. I'm just getting back into playing after 10 years and Charlie was so nice and helpful. Plus he had on a cool hat when he greeted me. He went above and beyond fitting me with the proper shoulder rest even though I didn't have my violin with me. He also provided me with free tape for finger placement. I will definitely be back and I highly recommend this shop to all violinists!! read more

Charlie is so knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely a great place to have your bass worked on!

We had the pleasure of meeting the staff at the Bass by the Beach festival. The lecture was informative and interesting. My boys learned about maintenance of their instruments, and had adjustments done. Very friendly and professional! read more

Charley has been our son's Bass tutor for six years now. He has done an outstanding job teaching him not only the mechanics of playing the Bass but also music theory as well. He started teaching our son in fifth grade. From seventh through tenth grade our son has made the Florida All State Orchestra, due in large part to Charley's tutelage. Charley has also performed several custom upgrades to my son's bass. They have been very helpful in making it easier for my son to play and excel. The upgrades were all well made and implemented. Definitely quality craftmanship on the work. read more
