Really had to take advantage of the opportunity to reexperience the sights, smells and aesthetics of a centre where luthiers (?) work their day-to-day magic! The 'shop' alone is visually exquisite! (IMHO!)

The terms and conditions of the hireage were VERY clear, the instrument of choice was shown to me along with how to care for it.... and while I left feeling almost too scared to even touch the instrument anymore (semi-joking), they were very knowledgeable and I had every confidence the instrument of choice was in a condition I could use, tuned and I was shown how to take the item in and out of the bag - which, as someone who is starting out as an adult with no prior knowledge, was appreciated. I wasn't judged for having no prior knowledge either, in fact I purchased a practice mute to go with the instrument (for my poor neighbors' sake) and they kindly showed me how to attach it as well. Yes, I understand they want to keep their item in good condition but it was appreciated nonetheless. As a heads up, parking is very sketchy in the area given the businesses around the unit, so I would recommend coming as a pair and have the other drive around so you aren't towed or having to park illegally. Also recommend setting aside an hour for hireage, the process is about 30mins itself but they are very popular so you may need to hold fire in the waiting space. Good luck to any future learners!

I went there to buy new chinrest for my daughter. The staff helped finding the right one for her, tried every option on her violin. Worth traveling from Northshore. Very friendly.

I have been its customer more than ten years, but never liked this place, but there is no other choices in Auckland. People are rude. It is almost like they don't know how to deal with the real life. Even you purchased 4000 instrument and 2000 bow, they don't treat you as you deserve.

The people are very friendly and knowledgable. Cost is reasonable. They restored a very old and battered violin for me made about 1910. It now sounds beautiful and a real delight to listen to. It was renovated in a relatively short time given the amount of work needed.

Was told 40.00 per violin for estimate for 2 violins. They charged 180 instead. Said that as the customer wasn't there in person for them to explain things to it would cost more. They never phoned us to ask if this was ok just told us the different price at the end after we told them we don't want to sell them through their company. This was for a 92yr old man that they ripped off. On top of that they were just extremely rude to deal with. These people will rip you off, my advice is find someone else.
