Professional and pleasant staff. The luthier/owner Matt handled a peg hole crack repair within 48 hours (with initial ETA at 4 days). His demeanor is authentic, kind, and experienced. The analysis was quick with several options provided as well as advisement to adjust the bridge for ease of learning & playing. The repair, tuning and cleaning up the instrument was reasonably priced. Violin sounded wonderful on arrival and the whole process super smooth, prompt and friendly. If I upgrade my violin in the future I will shop here first. Exceptional turnaround, fair pricing, excellent quality of workmanship and wonderful customer service. read more

I drive a long way and pass other string stores along the way to take my cello to Atlanta Violins. They are very knowledgeable, professional, and patient. They helped me find my cello teacher, and they are the only ones I trust with my instrument. read more

As I was leaving the luthier Matt introduced himself to me and we had a great conversation! This is a trustworthy business. I highly recommend them. They take their time and ate very encouraging to new players and professionals. read more

My daughters started orchestra in the 4th grade and continued through the 11th grade. When looking for a rental option for a violin, we were directed to Atlanta Violins in Roswell. We were able to rent a violin for one of my daughters and obtain upgrades to larger violins as she outgrew each instrument. After we had rented a violin for some time, we were able to apply the rental money towards the purchase of a violin for her. My daughter graduated from high school a few years back, and she recently decided she wanted to play her old violin again. We took it into Atlanta Violin, and they made a number of minor modifications for free. They only charged us to re-hair the bow. Matt was the person who helped us, and he provided great customer service. He is friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. In addition, they are taking extra precaution to avoid the spread of COVID-19. They require face masks, and they check the temperatures of everybody who enters the store. If you are looking to rent or purchase an instrument, I would definitely recommend visiting Atlanta Violins in Roswell. read more

I had a broken viola...haven't played it in 10 years or so...when I was younger (high school) that viola played with several orchestras, was first chair in my high school orchestra, played in the Atlanta Youth Symphony Orchestra... This was my "best friend" from around middle school to my senior year of High School...we were together a LOT. My viola had a crack on its face. The sound post needed adjustment. I desperately needed new strings and a bow re-hair (or a new bow). So after deciding to pick it up again I had to shop around to find someone who would and could repair my poor broken best friend. And as it's been so long I am super rusty. I forgot how he sounded. I forgot what brand strings I used. I forgot a lot and I was also lacking in the up to date knowledge. So I found Atlanta Violins. Not only did they repair for a decent price but they talked me through strings and other "new info" from today's terminology and products. All from the parking lot - due to COVID. I felt my viola was in good hands and I trusted them to repair him. So...I got my viola back and I am VERY HAPPY with it. read more

The greatest option for stringed instruments and lessons. You won't be disappointed! Excellent place!

Great Experience overall, very fast and efficient service. Alpharetta(main street) location has been perfect for my needs. Curtis read more

My family have been customers with them for going on two decades. When we were growing up we had a string bass player, a cello player, a violin player and a viola player and Atlanta Violins was a frequent place we would stop in for bow repair, new rosin, a more comfortable shoulder pad, etc. The staff here area really amazing. Always helpful. They feel more like a good friend. Playing musical instruments is a personal experience and like anything else what works for one doesn't necessarily work for another. I remember this one time coming in here because the shoulder pad I was using for my viola was super uncomfortable. I had been using it for quite a while even though it was uncomfortable because it was sorta pricey and I thought if I kept using it I would get use to it. I didn't. When I came in telling them what my problem was the folks here didn't try to sell me the most expensive one. in fact they sold me on one of their cheaper models and my parents were highly suspicious but it turned out to be he right one....thanks Atlanta Violins! You guys are the best! read more

My mom and I have been customers with them for over 9 years!! I have driven from NC multiple times for help with my Cello, and they've always welcomed us with open arms and support! Please choose this business if you want the best long term experience! Highly recommended, as soon you walk in you are greeted with smiles read more

You cannot go wrong with going to Atlanta Violins. Very friendly staff WITH A LOT OF KNOW HOW! It doesn't matter what you need. Rehairing bows? Check! Issues with your instrument? Check! Need a case? Check! Easy to get to check! read more

The great reviews are for a reason. I called to get advice over the phone while in Florida and they were helpful and k is their stuff!

This is one very special place, owned and operated by artisan musicians, people you can feel comfortable to trust to take care of your instrument. It's clear to me their goal is to only ever make it better, more of a joy to play! read more

I'm a Middle School Srudent that got my violin and love it so far! The staff are friendly and even gave us a popsicle lol, 5 stars!

I can see why they have such high ratings. The staff were kind and helpful from the beginning to end. I texted this morning and got a response within 30 minutes to coordinate a time. I appreciate that they require masks and make every effort to keep their lobby as socially distanced as possible. Their rental policy and pricing seem reasonable to me. They also get bonus points for having a sweet dog mascot. read more

Atlanta Violins is amazing. We have now purchased our last two violins from them - driving 150 miles from Birmingham, Alabama - spending hours onsite looking for the right violins and bows. The attention to details and the service from the staff is incredible. They (the staff) are role models to my 15 year old daughter. She loves to play the violin and you can tell they share that same passion. We are are huge fans. I highly recommend Atlanta Violins. read more

Our family had an absolutely incredible experience at Atlanta Violins. They treat you like their own family, not pressuring a purchase in any way but taking their time to make sure that you are completely satisfied with the instrument in consideration. They go above and beyond to ensure that you are well taken care of and we were blown away by their generosity. Andrew was incredibly exceptional and made the process of choosing an instrument for purchase absolutely enjoyable. I have no doubt that we have walked away with a quality instrument and will highly recommend Atlanta Violins for anyone considering a place for purchase or repair. read more

I can't say enough good things about my experiences with Atlanta Violins over the last four years. I don't live in the local Atlanta area but find it more than worth the effort to drive to Atlanta from south Alabama. After purchasing an upgraded violin several years ago, I most recently purchased a very nice Pernambuco bow. The customer service is always over-the-top! Matt Phillips, Magan Hallam, and the team ensured that every trip I've made to their shop has been a very positive experience. When it comes to technical questions and concerns, Matt makes me feel like I'm his only customer. He is a master craftsman and has always gone above and beyond. read more

True customer service seems to be a failing concept, so when I do receive OUTSTANDING customer service, I'm compelled to share! Our daughter just started 6th grade at a new school and showed interest in playing the violin in the school orchestra. Her father & I had been so busy trying to set her up with everything else and had no clue about violins...what type to get her, sizing, etc. and everything would need to be done over the weekend so she could start orchestra Monday with her instrument. Whew! We contacted Atlanta Violins and spoke with Andrew. He was so kind, helpful, & truly passionate about music...so refreshing! He spent the time on the phone to answer all of our questions and helped us step by step with our rental. We live a good distance from the store and he even offered to stay after hours on Saturday for us to pick up the instrument. While at the store, he took his time to select the right size violin for our daughter, explain the parts of the instrument and care. And assured us that he would be there for any additional questions moving forward. I keep mentioning TIME because everyone seems to be so rushed these days...but Andrew's true service to ensure the customer was comfortable & satisfied was top notch & greatly appreciated from newbie violin parents. We highly recommend Andrew at Atlanta Violins! read more

Just got my daughters first v iolin here Matt helped us.... They are super resonable with price. If you have a child who wants to play violin and maybe dont have enough to purchase a new violin i highly recommend coming here...They rrplace strings with their rentals and have all needed supplies.... read more

They have repaired antique violins within a week and for a reasonable cost. The employees are extremely knowledgeable and courteous! I will definitely return in the future! read more

We are long time customers of Atlanta Violins. Yesterday, we were helped by a wonderful gentleman named Ehsan. He was absolutely amazing! No real surprise there because everyone we have worked with at Atlanta Violins has been truly exceptional! We came in to the shop because our son's bow needed repairs. Ehsan greeted us warmly, listened to our explanation, examined the bow carefully, discussed some options, and then exceeded our expectations in reparing the bow. We appreciated his attention to detail and excellent workmanship. Once more, we are very satisfied customers! read more

Excellent customer service and repair work on my violin. They are fellow musicians who are easy to work with and are truly trying to help you with your needs. Andrew went above and beyond today. Great service! read more

I stopped by to pass some time and was pleasantly surprised! Even though I made it clear that i was there to just browse they were still very open to chat with me about their instruments and answer all of my questions. The variety and sheer number of string instruments on hand was amazing. The difference in price as well as the initial cost seemed high to me at 1st. But after they explained ( and played for me) several different violins it became clear why. If I ever have a need for assistance with any string instruments I would head back here. Highly recommended. read more

Great find in Atlanta. Staff was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable. As someone who is just beginning to learn violin, I get very tired of the snobby attitude of many shops for not purchasing a $1000 violin. I brought in my $200 student violin and they not only helped me set it up to sound as good as it could, but explained many things along the way. There is not question when I am ready to purchase a higher quality violin of where I plan to go. read more

Really cool place. They let you rent a violin for a very great price. The staff were very nice and welcoming. Will def recommend you to rent with them . read more

They are phenomenal! We have been leasing with them for more than a decade and their service is exceptional. It's no wonder why musicians/students from other states drive here to avail their service. Martha is beyond exceptional. She is very patient, honest and knowledgeable with their instruments. Her attitude is very inspiring. She will find ways to get what you want/need without rushing or putting pressure. This store only sells quality instruments within your budget and has the best trade in policy. read more

Excellent service and lovely people! Thank you so much for helping me figure out the perfect set of strings for my cello!

Amazing service!!!! I went to exchange my rental, and they took care of all the cost specifics by presenting me with 3 options within my equity. Only 32¢ over! Ryan was SO helpful and kind, and explained how to take care of my new instrument. You can tell their top priority is the customers satisfaction, not making money. Definitely recommend this adorable and wonderful place! read more

I am a raw beginner and was in the market for a new violin bow. I had no idea what to look for and didn't have a lot of confidence in my ear to hear the difference between bows. Martha, who helped me, was amazing! She took lots of time for me to hear each bow and she was very patient. I also rented a violin a few months earlier and the staff there has always been wonderful and helpful. I would recommend Atlanta violins to anyone! And if you're a beginner, they don't make you feel like such a beginner! read more

This is very unfortunate I have to write this review but considering the times I feel I have no choice. With the severity of COVID in our area, I think it's important people are aware of the conditions prior to going to a business. We chose to come to Atlanta Violins because we absolutely love our piano teacher and her husband who works at this location. Honestly, I expected a certain level of cleanliness, professionalism, and organization based on the recommendations of the Stewarts always being equivalent in quality of their own business. This was not the case with Atlanta Violins. First, there is a sign when you arrive that clearly states everyone including staff must be wearing a mask. The office manager sat the entire time with her mask on her chin coughing and talking up a storm to another, who I presumed was an employee. The other person was also not wearing a mask and only put it on over his mouth right when he was within 2 feet of me. The office manager was also quite unkempt. I don't think it's unreasonable especially with the severity of COVID people should practice a certain level of hygiene before going out in public. Also, if a place states everyone should wear a mask, then as a consumer I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect everyone be wearing a mask around customers. Secondly, the office manager's desk is disgusting and filthy. There is no way that space is being disinfected. It would take a few hours just to clean it off and it's evident by looking at it, that's not happening which makes me question if this shop is being cleaned at all which is of high concern with COVID. I'm also 100% certain there are problems with payments being charged the correct amounts and issues with people's information out in the open for anyone to take. We have chosen to go somewhere else to buy. The only reason we will be returning to this business for anything will be to have our instrument repaired by Jerome and we will only pay in cash. read more

I was gifted a family violin from the early 1900's that had a crack in a peg hole in the scroll that needed repaired. Ehsan and Matt did a wonderful repair job. They did a "cheek" patch and it looks great! Also, the tail piece broke and Ehsan was able to repair it. I would highly recommend Atlanta Violins for any repair work on stringed instruments. read more

OMG...my son was in heaven. The previous reviews were right in that these people know their stuff! My son was there to get new strings for his cello and they were so knowledgable in helping him find the right combo that would work with both the sound and our budget. They were very honest too on what to splurge on and what not to. My son had done a ton of research before hand so he totally agreed with everything they had said. If you come, you have to check out all of the instruments they have throughout the rest of the "house". They were all gorgeous! All different price points too. The icing on the cake was they let my son play any cello he wanted to try out something different than what he owns. He had a blast! We will be for sure coming back when it comes time to upgrade! read more

The fine folks at Atlanta Violins helped me in many ways, to restring and set up my fiddle. You should definitely travel to Roswell in North Fulton County to visit the shop. read more

My daughter needed a new viola after hers was crushed in an unfortunate accident. I'm so glad we made the trip from Hendersonville NC down to Atlanta, because Martha made the experience of finding the right viola so easy. What I liked most is how she really helped guide my daughter's decision rather than pushing her in a particular direction. For instance, to help my daughter hear the difference between different instruments, she would often play them herself while my daughter listened. Martha also guided her choice of a new bow and case. We were there for so long that we had to leave for a lunch break, but never felt hurried. We will certainly return to Atlanta Violins when it's time to upgrade. Highly recommend! read more

Had to make a brief business trip last week to get my Daddy's fiddles appraised and this little shop is nice. I was able to find it rather easy and Mark was very quick and efficient and handled my Daddy's precious fiddles with love and care. I highly recommend this place for anyone that is into fiddle/violin music and needing information regarding concert dates and times, merchandise for sale, appraisal and even music lessons. read more

My first time here with a child who's learning to play the violin starting this school year. Martha was a wonderful help to this clueless parent and I am so grateful for the way she eased my concerns and handled the instrument rental and purchase of supplies with ease and grace. The store is a nice welcoming gem!! read more

Atlanta Violins is the most remarkable place to purchase, service, restore or rent a string instrument! I have been giving them my business for more years than I can count not only for my personal instruments, but also my son's instruments (he's a professional cellist) . I referred many of my private students here, and I hear only GREAT reports back from my orchestra middle school students who come here. The owners are infinitely knowledgable, and if there is anything they don't know, they will research and find out. The entire team is extremely friendly and treat you like family. Prices are competitive, and when you leave the store you always know you've gotten your money's worth because your instrument sounds, looks and works better than when you took it in. The entire staff operates as a a team and are IN TUNE with your needs! 5 stars. read more

Martha was super sweet and really professional to help me finding the perfect instrument and bows for me. I often got touched by the passion of those group of people. Great place with great people. Highly recommended. read more
