I was recommended by the school to come here. I rushed in one day like 10 minutes before closing just to get the vibes and ask a couple of questions. The staff were definitely ready to go but they never showed it, said anything or rushed me out. So nice friendly and answered all questions. When I went back I was able to take time and look through the shop and it looks small on the outside but I was so shocked at the space inside. Everything was organized and in place. When getting the instrument they have a chair to let you try it out. I was impressed and def recommend read more

If I could give Atlantic strings violin shop 10 stars I would. I can't express my gratitude and appreciation for the time they spent with me. I was there over an hour, I had come in because my bridge was attached to my violin... Maybe varnish was not dry before putting on the bridge at another shop??? They were so knowledgeable and were able to get the sound of my violin back to where it needed to be. While I was there, I was able to play a couple of their beautiful violins... And was able to try out different bows too. I can't tell you how patient they were and how very, very kind. I wasn't rushed in anyway and was treated like a very welcomed guest. read more

From the time you walk into this store, you know that you will be well taken care of by people who truly know what they are doing and enjoy what they do. I came in looking to upgrade my son's violin to something nicer. His first one was a very low end instrument and it was time to upgrade. We were greeted both by the lady behind the counter and quickly afterwards by Ryan. He asked all the necessary questions - what size, price point, do you have the old one to trade in - and gathered information from both myself and my son. He brought us 3 violins, which he told me were around my price point but wanted him to do a blind testing to see which one he liked the best without the pressure of price. I really liked that. While he tested each one, which had been expertly tuned by Ryan, the Luthers were upstairs examining his old violin. Without a doubt, it was a true moment of the violin picking the violinist. The second one was his choice, and the whole process took us about 30 minutes to complete. I accepted their offer for the old one, put it towards the balance of the new one, and we were quickly on our way to lessons with a new instrument. To Ryan and the rest of the team, thank you. If anyone ever asks where to get a string instrument from, I will definitely be sending them your way! read more

Atlantic Strings Violin Shop - Violin 2 - the one he picked. - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Love coming here for any of my violin needs. You get much more personalized and specialized help as opposed to going to a general music store. Came in for new strings and they were very transparent about the pricing and sound quality of the different options. They restrung my violin on the spot within a few minutes. They also explained further upgrades I could make that weren't as urgent which I appreciated as it reflected their attention to detail and expertise. Prices are reasonable too. I won't be taking my violin anywhere else but here! read more

KUDOS to the staff for providing supreme quality customer service! Ryan is so helpful and funny! He plays the cello! They have all kinds of instruments from violin , viola, cellos, and basses! Thank God for Atlantic Strings! They have free stickers as well! Please come and visit to support this local business! read more

They are knowledgeable and take the time to ensure your satisfaction. The violins are of excellent quality. I give them a 5-star rating. I am an older adult who has always wanted to learn the violin. After retiring, I finally had the time to. They had me try five different ones. "I just started taking lessons," I remarked. "Just strum the strings to hear the sound." One by one, I eliminated them until I got down to two. I asked my wife, "Which sounds better?" "Which one do you think?" I held up the Stefan Petrov. She nodded in agreement. Best purchase I ever made. I'm learning and it isn't as easy as I thought, but I enjoy every minute. read more

I cannot begin to describe the multitude of emotions I felt walking into this quaint and lovely little shop. So many vivid memories of when I was in Orchestra. The smell of the wood, the instruments organized so perfectly on the walls, it brought back so many lovely memories I almost cried. I had to wait a little bit as there were quite a number of people there but to me that was ok because it was very encouraging to see that the love for classical music has not died away and that it is still very much alive. It honestly made me feel guilty for having let so much time pass and not having played a single note myself. Thus the reason why I was here. I entrusted these fine people with the violin of my youth, hoping that they'd be able to get it back to a playable state and I'm happy to say that they did just that. Not only is it back to playable, but it turned out to cost much less than I anticipated which I'm thankful for. If ever I need rosin, a shoulder rest, or any other accessory, instead of ordering on amazon or online I'll just come here to support them. It's important to keep little places like this going. read more

Atlantic Strings Violin Shop is a small but quaint shop filled with violins and cellos on Mills Avenue located just as stone's throw from East Colonial Drive. The store is owned by luthiers and area musicians. It is very apparent that they love both music and the instruments that create music, they are also a beautiful addition to the community that they serve. My son bought a cello here and the people were friendly, professional, knowledgeable and fair in the transaction. It is refreshing to see a business driven by passion and not the bottom line. read more

Jess help my kids pick their violin and viola. She is very friendly and professional. I called before I visited and want to know what service, products and price range they have. She answered all my questions wonderfully so I decided to give this shop a try. We got more than we planned to buy. Jess definitely know how to provide a great customer service. We are all very happy with the instruments we bought today and excited about the music journey a head of them! Go rock! read more

Superior selection of instruments and very knowledgeable staff! Definitely recommend for any orchestral needs!! A+++

Such a beautiful shop. I've always wanted to visit here and finally did today to rent a violin for my son. Jess was extremely helpful and made the experience a joy. read more

An amazing collection of Violins and Cellos! For the beginner to the professional, you can find your next amazing instrument in this tiny little converted house. The up-right bass selection, used violins and antique cellos makes my heart melt every time I enter the store. The beauty of these instruments, carefully hung from the walls makes me want to spend all day playing every one! I would never leave if I could! Staff is very friendly and helpful. Professional services available and happy to refer to one of the colleagues. read more

My friend and I had no intention of buying any violin or cello, but we just wanted to see the beautiful curated collection of string instruments for sale. The associate or owner, not sure which, was still wonderful in still spending time to show us the violins and cellos. We could tell he had a lot of knowledge, enthusiasm and pride for the shop. If you or someone you know is interested in buying a string instrument, go shop here. There's even tiny violins for little kids. I could tell the customers around were happy to be at the store because the associates provide a family-oriented customer service. They really take time to get to know any customer that walks into the shop. They also support local businesses and artists via their bulletin board of advertisements by the front door. I think the shop is also nicer and more personable than a major chain musical instrument store. The store says a lot when the associates are genuinely kind even to other customers who are simply browsing like my friend and I. read more

Best violin shop in Orlando. We have at least two great shops, Muni Strings in Winter Park and Atlantic Strings. My bridge came off (Flew off actually) causing my sound post to come loose. Muni appeared to be closed (summer vacation?) so I took it to Atlantic Strings. They put everything back together as I waited for a very reasonable price. Last year we took our Daughter-in-Laws violin there for more extensive repairs (took 2 days) which turned out great, she has played it since several times with the Advent Health Orchestra. While I waited for my violin repairs, I was shown a few next-level violins which sounded incredible. Can't wait to improve enough to justify such a violin. Anyway, were fortunate to have such a great violin resource in the area. read more

With the kids interested in playing violin and viola, we visited this shop looking either to purchase or rent them. Jess was extremely helpful in showing us various options with some recommendations of her own. The kids were able to pick out and even play their instruments of choice the whole time we're in the shop. There are broad choices of string instruments in the store across various price ranges. Should one be interested in a string instrument he/she won't be disappointed by the selection and the service offered at this shop. read more

We had super good service, and Kim hooked us up with the goods. Please come here and buy violins and everything else they have to offer!

My son is getting his violins from Atlantic Strings, this is the second time sizing up to full. The employee there were very helpful as always and keep my son very happy. This time was very special that the owner Allen showed us his work-shop making violin. Violin has been the instrument for my son since he was four so it is so nice for us to be at the sight of the violin making even in a short while. Also it is wonderful to feel the love of instruments from the whole store. Thank you so much for the amazing experience!!!!! read more

Thank you Maddy and Jess for helping me pick out my violin. They were very sweet and helpful. I would definitely recommend anyone who's looking a string instrument to come visit. read more

So. I've never bought anything here but I was window shopping one day. I really appreciate the customer service! I was welcomed and my questions were answered with great detail and knowledge. They have new and some used instruments. The used are priced fairly well but the new are out of my price range (like most musical instruments). There was no pressure to buy and they even called to follow up after I had left with a list of instructors/tutors and all the information I was looking for! Great little Shop! read more

Wonderful ensemble of instruments and friendly staff. Located in Florida and everyone here is very kind

Excellent service. Juan Carlos was honest, knowledgable, patient and helpful. Great decision to take my daughter's cello there. If you have a string instrument, this is the only place in Orlando you should be visiting for repair, advice or to purchase. Highly recommend. read more

They are always incredibly helpful and kind here. Very grateful to have this quaint little shop so close to home!

The staff is truly wonderful and welcoming. To a person who didn't know a lick about an instrument to hear the encouragement to go forward with the idea of learning how to play is truly a wonderful thing to hear. Atlantic Strings is a nice place to go and I would recommend them. read more

I am a complete beginner and had no idea what I was doing when I showed up my first time. Everyone I've ever met at this store has been SUPER nice and helpful. I broke a string the other day and was really worried about it. I showed up, In and out within minutes. They fixed it and tuned it up for me. So nice about it, too. Best shop in town! read more

My twin girls were beginners and I knew nothing about string instruments when we walked into Atlantic Strings Violin Shop almost 2 years ago. It has been an enjoyable experience working with the staff who have been very helpful in providing us with what we need while enthusiastically answering my many questions. Recently, they went the "extra mile" to correct a mistake on my order and making it it better than right!!! Thank you, Atlantic Strings Violin Shop, for your excellent & friendly customer service. read more

We have visited Atlantic Strings numerous times for five plus years and they have always been very helpful. They have a large selection of instruments to rent at a reasonable monthly price. I highly recommend this shop. read more

Our first time visiting this store. I now know why my sons teacher recommends this place. It was worth the 2 hour drive. They are honest, very friendly, welcoming and patient while my selective son tried out many bows. I would have lost my patience but Nicole was so helpful and gave my son her attention and she guided him to what he wanted and is extremely happy. This will be our place to go when we are ready to purchase his own Viola. We also interacted with another staff (don't remember her name) at Florida All-States in Tampa and she was super nice and very knowledgeable and helped guide us with our decision on our future purchase of a viola. read more

Very helpful and knowledgeable. Talented staff as well, I've met a few really great Musicians here! My daughter is learning so much!

Very cute, quaint shop with a good selection of string instruments. It was my first time buying a violin so I came in expecting to rely on the experience of the staff. They were very helpful, knowledgeable, and made the whole buying experience a pleasant one. read more

This place is a hallow sanctuary of stringed instruments. I purchased an upright bass here and was not disappointed with the attentive, professional, and detailed service I received. read more

Excellent service, cello sounds great! I left my card at the store and the guy working there drove 25 min to my hotel to give me back my credit card. Thank you. read more

Allen and his crew did a fantastic job of restoring our fairly old violin (built around 1798 in one of the pre-Germany states), which needed a lot of work. The before/after change is hard to fathom. Before, the appearance and sound were so-so at best. After his repairs it is beautiful, has great tone, and terrific projection. He fixed the contour of the top (it had sagged considerably), patched cracks (beautifully I might add), and replaced some items that had worn out. We had a great experience with Allen and Co. and would definitely use Atlantic Strings in the future if needed. FWIW, we used the Orlando shop. read more

I love this place and is one of the best violin repair places in Orlando. I love that the manager and the workers help you understand the repair and work they're going to perform on your instrument. I was recommended by this place by my violin teacher and I will continue to come here. read more

Did lots of research for an upgrade violin for my daughter ($ 4 figures). I drove two hours to get there and it was worth it! They have everything from beginning to ones pros use! Elizabeth was incredibly helpful and patient (we took over an hour trying violins- then left and tried another nearby shop-then came back and took another half hour). They talked to my teen daughter like a real person and worked to understand exactly what sound she wanted. My daughter is very advanced and I know nothing about violins and they still made us both feel great about our decision. They gave me a good deal and I think I got great value. I'd refer anyone here who needs to get to beyond "their first" violin! read more

Terrific! Elise was very helpful for me in looking at violins and testing them out. She also gave space which is essential to really get a feel for a new violin. read more

I was gifted a used violin and have intentions to learn how to play but figured I'd need it tuned first. Stopped by Atlantic Strings and Nicole helped me out in grand fashion. From listening to my beginner-ish needs (turned out to not even need a tuning) to offering me practice advice and providing a list of local teachers to contact as well. The shop was charming as was Nicole. I will not forget her kindness or knowledge and will be back as any needs arise! read more

Very nice people. Always willing to help and listen. I drive two hours to get here. Orlando is lucky to have this business and staff. I have seen some reviews where price is an issue. Quality comes with a pricetag. I have been burned buying high end violins online. If Atlantic Strings labels a violin as Italian, it is made in Italy, not Ita-Lee, China. read more
