I am pleased to report that my son Jesse is now working full time in the shop. He has a keen eye for quality, able hands for repair and as an accomplished violinist, a trained ear for sound. This collaboration ensures that we will be able to serve your string instrument needs for many years to come. It is universally recognized that the finest instruments available are those from the "Golden Age" of violin making in 18th century Italy, but for the majority of musicians these are financially inaccessible.

Dan is the only person in the KC area that I trust with my violin, and the only person I can confidently send my students to. It took 8 years to find somebody so honest, knowledgeable, professional, and 100% transparent. As a professional violinist with very high standards for craftsmanship, I would recommend Dan to anybody without question or hesitation.

I want to highly recommend this business located in Lee's Summit, (K.C.) Missouri. Two years before purchasing my violin, I had sent an inquiring email to Mr. Lawrence regarding buying a violin. I played the instrument in school about 60 years ago, but did not have one. Mr. Lawrence took the time to return an email with very detailed info on what to look for, as well as a starting price.
Two years later, I visited the shop with my husband and I ended up buying one, as well as a quality bow. Mr. Lawrence was knowledgeable, friendly, and a real joy to deal with. I love my violin as much as I did 60 years ago and thank him for his initial reaching out and great kindness!

It was time for my daughter to upgrade her viola, and Mr. Dan Lawrence was highly recommended to us (by my daughter's tutor AND orchestra teacher). Dan is a sweetheart of a gentleman, very informative, and he has WONDERFUL customer service. We, (and the tutor) were jumping up and down with the quality and price of the viola we chose. We thank him for the wonderful instrument and ALL that he did for us. We will be certainly returning in the future! THANK YOU!
