Bill's Violin Shop

Great chat with Bill about his philosophy on restoring violins. GREAT GUY!

We like Bill, he's honest and helpful. Advised us about the instrument. I recommend you to go if you need any advices or to buy instrument. He has many options. Thank you BILL

Our daughter plays violin with the school orchestra. Her instructor notified us of a cracked seam and recommended Bill. Bill is very knowledgeable, honest, and promptly got her violin repaired. He stayed in touch and went above and beyond what we were expecting. We appreciate the fast turn around and value.

Bill is an extremely knowledgeable, and skilled luthier. His work is unmatched in the area, and priced at a great value. His honesty and integrity are beyond reproach. I cannot say the same for any other local violin shop that I've had business with. Besides that, he is an absolute joy, and we always end up staying and chatting with him. Looking to buy a violin or have a stringed instrument repaired? Look no further than Bill's Violin Shop.

We decided to purchase a violin vs renting one for my son in school. After talking to dealers at a school event, I went home and researched options in the Northland. So glad we found Bill! He has been so awesome and I can not recommend him enough! He loves music. He loves what he does. And it shows. Thank you, Bill!

Mr Bill Steele is one of a kind, a true stringed instrument genius, who I'm happy to have called my mentor at one point in my life. From both a student and customer point of view, he's nothing less than spectacular. a true relic of a sadly bygone era. He knows his stuff, and I would trust this man with your little fiddle anywhere, anytime.

Bills violin shop is an amazing place with superb workmanship and can fix just about anything strings related! He's a master Craftsman and does amazing work with fair pricing! Highly recommend!

Bill is a pleasure to do business with. He is upfront, honest and very reasonable. Not only did he finish the repairs I requested very quickly, he touched up and polished my instrument and made it look beautiful. He clearly takes great pride and joy in his work.

Bill took a violin made by hand by my great-great-great-uncle in the 1910''s and made it playable again. He isn't just an expert in his craft, he's a gentleman and a friendly businessman. He isn't one to "nickel-and-dime" you, he values you as a customer, and values your instrument as if it were his own. He took care of our family's violin, put a new bridge and finger-board on it, restrung it, put hair on the bow, put on a chin rest, and more.

He did this in only a week! I am new to the violin, and he had no problem having me pick up one of his and teaching me some of the basics of violin: how to hold it, how to hold the bow, how to move it, posture, etc. I am pleased to have worked with him, and I cherish the violin he helped make into a practical, usable instrument, not just an heirloom that hangs on the wall. I look forward to coming back to see him in a couple of months and playing with him a bit, and I have no doubt he'll set down whatever task he's doing to do so!

I have taken all of my instruments to Bill since I was a kid, and I recommend him to anyone who needs repairs on their string instruments. He does excellent work, and is very friendly. I never feel rushed when working with him, and he goes above and beyond to make sure all of your needs are met or exceeded!
