Duckworth Music Violin Shop

Absolutely the best ever violin shop in the Hill Country! Service, knowledge, repairs, accessories, price.everything simply the BEST!

Very knowledgeable and a super nice guy. My son and I walked out with a unique bass at a great price. Highly recommend this local shop!

Fixed my daughters broken bridge on her Cello in a couple days. Great work! Friendly and nice! Prices are great!

Long overdue review: Read about Duckworth Violins online, stopped in since my wife wanted learn to play fiddle. I play guitar, but was clueless where to begin. Mr. Duckworth led us to a great setup. Beautiful shop, personal and very knowledgeable service.it's 2 yrs later and still a great instrument, and we want to go back soon and visit, maybe an instrument tune-up or upgrade. Incredible shop!

My story; Kids played in the high school orchestra, graduated and moved on - cello remained collecting dust. Recently decided, at the ripe young age of 67, to learn how to play the cello. Ordered books, rosin and electric tuning device then opened cello case to reveal bow with strings in disarray. Carried it to Mr. Duckworth who was very patient and informed me of the mites love for horsehair. Kindly offered some pointers on proper storing of bow then restrung at a very fair price in less than a week.

I subsequently attempted to tune said cello on my own and snapped a string. Back to Mr. Duckworth who patiently introduced me to some amazing cello history while simultaneously restring and tuning the cello as I waited. Price was more than fair. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Sound businessman, a true gentleman and an amazing luthier.

Mr. Duckworth is truly amazing. We had such an great experience shopping at this store for both a Viola and an electric guitar for my teenage son. He was incredibly knowledgeable and patient. My teen had saved his money to purchase for himself and Mr. Duckworth answered every question, educated him and treated him with respect. We had a wonderful experience. They have our business forever.

I highly recommend! I was gifted an antique violin that needed to be restored. I took it here and was so impressed with how knowledgable and helpful they were. They restored the violin beautifully and now it plays better than my regular violin (it's gorgeous!). I will continue to use them for all my string instrument needs.

Mr. Duckworth is the most kind and patient person in the violin world. I HIGHLY recommend his services to everyone I know! I live in San Antonio and GLADLY drive up to his shop to work with just him on repairs and bridge work; you name it he CAN do it! He's so wise and not only sells the instruments but also gives you an intimate knowledge of how it works which NOBODY else does.

I can't even put into words how happy I am to have come across this lovely gentlemen of such skill; knowledge and people skills. Anyone in Austin San Antonio area take the time and slower pace and Mr. Duckworth will help you and more!

I recently acquired a new violin that I couldn't tune because the pegs kept slipping as soon as I let them go after tightening them. I brought my violin to the Duckworth Violin Shop to either have the pegs fixed or to educate me on how to properly turn the pegs (I hadn't touched a violin in over 30 until now). It didn't take Mr. Duckworth more than 20 minutes to fix the issue with my pegs and I ended up learning a thing or two about my violin. I found Mr. Duckworth to be friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable and I recommend his shop to anyone needing help with a string instrument.

I agree with the previous rater that Mr. Duckworth is an extremely honest and pleasant man--he's always trying to give us a deal we'll be happy with--and we've been customers for the last five years. His rental policy is awesome as well, a portion paid to rent the violin goes towards the price a future violin. He does repairs quickly and for the best price possible, I will NEVER go elsewhere!
