Love from Houston, TX! Thanks for the last viola Comfort Cradle in the world, haha! Such a beautiful shop and great owners. I've been visiting this shop for years and years. The Houston string market needs a shop much like this. There's only two here and they still can't meet the demand. Look me up when you're open in Texas!

They have really good Instruments, rozin, cases, shoulder rests + more here! Just bought a new (west coast) violin and white case from here and am extremely satisfied with it. It's also a really cool place (the view, the walls and all the instruments).

I don't remember just how I stumbled on to Christian Eggert Violins in Duluth about twenty years ago but from my first experience they have been outstanding in service and quality. Their shop has restored two violins for me, re-haired several bows as well as some repairs to instruments. I have also met and used the services the people from the Fargo shop. The staff always has personal time to speak with me and answer questions. I recommend these folks for any of your needs. No one is going to work on my instruments but them.
