The woman who works there was pretty condescending. I called asking for a 1/16 violin for my 3 year old. She insisted I needed a 1/32. Then she wanted me to buy a $7 sponge. I told her no, but she was really pushy. When my child went to the weekly lesson, the teacher said it was the wrong size and I didn't need a fancy contour sponge since my child is 3 years old.
So I had to waste another hour, using expensive gas, to return all the stuff and get what I actually asked for in the first place. When I was there, she really wanted me in and out, and gave me a low quality violin, with no apology. At least she refunded me for the fancy sponge, so 2 stars.

Korinthia is very knowledgeable and does outstanding work. I've been playing violin for 20 years and haven't had my instrument checked out by a luthier in about 15 years (most public schools don't teach you the importance of this growing up!) She very thoroughly inspected my entire violin and bow, installed an LR Baggs pick up for me (I play in a band with loud drums), and lent me a loaner violin to practice with until mine was ready. It took less than a week! I can honestly say my violin has never sounded better. I highly recommend Korinthia!

I've visited Korinthia on a number of occasions over the past couple of years, and every single time, she has treated me with such care and does not let me walk away without ensuring I am satisfied with my instrument. I love what she does and cannot thank her enough for how much she's done for me. Comparing her prices to Brass Bell or White House of Music is just a joke; not only are the big stores horribly overpriced, but they've consistently cut corners on instrument repair. Anyone would be a fool not to go to her.

I truly love this place! She gave me a really good deal on a violin on which she didn't have to but because of my special circumstance she did it out of the kindness of her heart. She has gained a customer and I recommend her for anything, anyone needs regarding any of her services. She is is the best in the city.

Excellent service and a deep understanding of string instruments. This shop outclasses Cascio Interstate Music, White House of Music, and the Brass Bell for quality of repair of violins, violas, and cellos. This is the place to go for student string instrument rentals accessories, and purchases. Not sure if this is the best string shop in the Midwest, but it definitely is the best in Milwaukee and Wisconsin.

Korinthia offered unbiased advice and earnestly took an interest in my musical endeavors. The studio has a rental program with excellent rates for students; I rented for two years and bought my rental today. The staff are honest, supportive, and generous with time and knowledge. I am moving out of state and will miss having this resource nearby.
