Nashville Violins

Brought my violin in cause I could not get it tuned. The luthier told me exactly what I needed & got right to work on it. About an hour & half later got a call all ready! I needed a new tail piece & my bridge lowered. He even installed the Prelude strings I brought in! All for $43! I will be back!

What is this magical place? My first experiences with the store and the staff were simply amazing. I bought an old cello that needed some serious love, and Dave in the workshop cheerfully walked me through what it needed. Though it's a busy season, he finished my project before the date expected. When I went to pick it up, he and Lindsay made sure I had everything I needed - and all at a remarkably low price. Beautiful hidden gem and kind people - I'd give them more stars if I could!

Brought my grandfather's violin in for repair. Blinded in the trenches in WWI, he couldn't care for it as he would have wanted. Wood worn away in places, dry as a bone. And it hadn't been played in forty years. It needed help. I'm so glad that a friend recommended Nashville Violin. The violin today is solid, with a lovely sound. And beautiful in a way I could not have hoped for. It's the attention to detail, the conservative approach, the subtlety in cleaning, glueing, and making all of that invisible. The folks are all really nice, too.

When I decided to take cello lessons late in life I reached out to Nashville Violins. The staff was very friendly. I was set up for lessons and continued for seven years. The teaching was great and the flexibility they gave me to change lessons when needed was so helpful. A year and a half ago I started taking guitar lessons. The transition seemed seamless. Dave has a professional staff working in the shop and teaching the lessons. They are always ready to serve you.

It was my first time coming here. I was nervous about going to a new Luthier but I took in my Viola after not having it serviced for a while. Kevin was very sweet and walked me through the process as he looked over my instrument. He saw that my bridge was warped and it was time for a new one, and recommended I get a professional cut since my old one was, which I appreciated.

He also helped me to get professional grade strings. Overall, I feel very confident leaving my instrument with them. Do come in and they will treat your instrument with the care and love it needs!

I don't normally rate shops. But. wow. Kevin is the luthier who helped me today. Through NO FAULT OF HIS OWN, I ended up buying twice as man I y instruments as I intended. I bought 2 violins. He knew I wanted German models & he had me play every German model in the shop. He was very patient while I decided on which "one" I was going to buy. I ended up with a Knilling Maestro (which was unintentional but this instrument was PRECISELY setup and sounded so amazing I had to have it). Then. the "problem" I had was that there was this ~120 year old German made violin that I fell in love with b/c of the amazing DEEP lows and. how to describe the highs. Poetic?

That's the best I can do. The highs were CRISP and clear and simply made me want to cry. You could hear the well seasoned nature of the wood. This was my first experience with purchasing intermediate (?) level violins. All ELEVEN instruments that I played were so well setup & tuned precisely that any of them would be brilliant for a new student. They ranged in price from about $375 up to a very pretty sounding ~$1500 one.

If you want an instrument that is PERFECTLY setup, go to this shop. I drove about 120 miles to get to the shop and now I have TWO beautiful instruments that are amazing. I can't stress the quality of every instrument I played & the technical skills of the staff enough. Buying a violin is an incredibly important and intimate decision. They were so kind and patient and understanding and they let me take my time to make the right purchasing decision.

I've made it home now and I've played the instrument they gave me at home and it's still amazing and beautiful. I highly recommend this shop. Sorry I fan boyed over this experience but they made this an experience that me & my family now will never forget. I'm in love with my instruments.

When I was in the horsetail hair (bow hair) trade, I had a regular, almost weekly chat with the folks at Nashville Violins. They are considered the best violin shop in the area, and service all of the top fiddlers we know and love including Sam Bush, Stuart Duncan and so on. They've always been super kind to me and I've heard nothing but stellar feedback from my clients.

Absolute pleasure to do business with these guys! I took my violin in for a setup, new bridge, peg fittings, etc. and since I drove 2.5 hours from out of town, they accommodated me and had all repairs done same day so I didn't have to make another trip back. Jessica did a GREAT job on my violin. It plays and sounds amazing. I'll certainly be making the trip to Nashville Violins anytime I need work done inthe future! Thanks for a wonderful experience! :

I am an oddball customer with "different" needs. Andrew paid polite attention to my concerns and even had everything in stock to create a perfect package matched to my environment, skill level, and medical conditions, at a discount compared to other sources. Now I can learn violin, something I've been wanting to do for 50 years. It's been a long time since I had a dream come true. Thank you, Nashville Violin.

Nashville violins is great because they have some of the most beautiful violins and my daughter has one that she is renting that she loves so much. Nashville Violins is very useful and I recommend it

They were so helpful. I haven't played in years. I needed new strings and expected a few other things needed updating too. Dave, Kevin, and Jessica were all so kind, knowledgeable, and patient with me. Made great recommendations. Jessica restrung my violin recommended the Strad Pad. I am so excited to play again.

For my 45 birthday I was given the best $15 present in my life. A nice rented violin from Nashville Violins. I'd never played an instrument before. After 5 years it continues to give me joy. I've been to a lot of violin shops in the last 5 years but none have impressed me as much as Nashville Violins. The selection, prices and accessories are the best I've ever seen (a lot of celebrities go there and take their kids there for lessons). You don't deal with a salesman but rather a professional violinist who fixes and can make violins. Dave is amazing. Check this place out.

Very nice shop, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the instructors are very attentive and professional as well. They always make sure my daughter has everything she needs in order to maximize her violin lessons. Try them, you won't be disappointed :

Best Violin Shop In Nashville! Excellent Instruments and Music Lessons! I bought my first violin here and took lessons for about nine months and absolutely loved it! I had lessons from two different instructors and both were excellent! I would continued taking lessons here for many more months if I still lived in Nashville!

Nice friendly staff and great Luthier support. I love visiting this shop and have bought a very nice fiddle here and a very nice travel fiddle. I wish it where closer so I could visit more often.
