He went above and beyond to help me with some repairs I needed for my violin and was so nice and so patient with me and all of my questions. I would recommend anyone to go here. I'm a complete beginner musician and everyone at this shop is super helpful and patient and want to help you so you can create music! Definitely the place to go for all musicians, novice and expert! Thank you Don!!!!

I recently shopped for a cello bow at Mt. Airy. They allowed me to use a private room to spend…read moreabout 2 - 3 hours on each of two visits to try about 20-30 bows in my price range and to take a few home for a week to audition. The staff, especially Charlotte, Adam and Thuy were wonderful and very helpful in aiding me in choosing the bow I liked best. This is a five-star operation in my opinion, and Mt. Airy will be my first choice for further services and purchases. Charlie C.

What a lovely shop to have right in the heart of Mt Airy! Located on Germantown Avenue (street…read moreparking only, folks, and watch yourself crossing the street -- cars zoom here!) directly across from Zsa's Ice Cream (another worthy destination). The online appointment interface is easy and straightforward, and the staff was very pleasant and helpful in regards to my many questions. COVID precautions: You make an appointment, drop off at a door (staff are masked) and then they let you know when it's ready for pick up. My kiddo now has a freshly rehaired bow to practice with, and -- much to his utter delight -- it is his favorite color green!

I came here looking for a new cello end-pin thinking it would solve my issues with my hand cramping…read moreand spoke with Paul and he told me that there are much better/cheaper solutions and was more concerned with figuring out why my hand was cramping instead of trying to get a quick buck out of me by just agreeing to switch out the end pin. I have a bent end-pin with a strange extension mechanism that I assumed was a broken mechanism because I could never get it to lock in it's extended form. Paul took a look and figured out how to make the mechanism work and told me a new end-pin wouldn't be necessary. I asked him to look at my bow and see if there could be a cause for concern there and he educated me briefly about the importance of a bow's balance and how if the bow's hair were not properly maintained, it could ruin the feel of an expensive bow/any bow, really. I got to compare my bow's current feel against a cheaper bow that was properly balanced and instantly felt the difference (took the bow home to test, and of course the hand cramps seemed to go away with a properly balanced bow). He broke down the costs of what could be fixed and was not pushy to sell anything to me which I greatly appreciated. Looking forward to coming here next time any issue/concern with my instrument arises. The only "issue" I had is that I did not call before my first visit, so I came to a locked door. Paul isn't always in this location so please make an appointment to save yourself the same confusion I faced.

He does great work at a fair price. It's a local spot for string players and a unique place!read more

Stopped in this past weekend and was not disappointed. While no where near the quantity of records that Nickles carries, I picked up 10 albums to add to the collection including a couple that are very rare in the wild. Usually when you see them they start at 35 each and I've seen them as high as 75. Got the pair for 24!!!! Sweet!!! When checking out had a great conversation with the clerk about some of the artists that I had purchased. Overall real nice afternoon. I will be back.
