Paul Schuback sold me an instrument in 2018/2019 that was in "great playing condition" according to…read morehim. Over the next few years, the condition and playability of the instrument worsened drastically and when I asked him if I could trade in the violin for something comparable or if he could buy it back (modus operandi for violin shops), he refused to do either. I sent photos to experts / took the violin to multiple respected luthiers in person and the response was ubiquitous, the violin was not at all in good playing condition and would take upwards of $20,000 to restore the instrument into stable/ sellable condition. The last and final time I had him do work on the violin, the fingerboard was not glued onto the neck correctly and a new crack opened up on the front bout of the instrument. AVOID this shop at all costs. After all of these headaches, I am still trying to sell the instrument and I STILL don't have an instrument that I love.

I figured email would be easier for them than reading the list over the phone. Both messages went unanswered. Since I'm out of state and only visit the Portland area periodically, email is the most practical way for me to check their used inventory before stopping by their shop. For a locally owned business, the lack of even a basic reply is surprising.

She has worked with several instructors over time, including Bex, Ari, and Luciana, and every single one has been amazing. Right now she is taking lessons with Sam, and we highly recommend him! He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and always brings such a great vibe to the lessons. We can clearly see my daughter's progress, and it is obvious that he genuinely cares and gets so excited seeing how much she has improved (whenever she learns something new or finally masters a piece they have been working on, you can see the joy on his face). If you are lucky, you may be able to get a spot with him! NOte: He occasionally goes on tour with his band (which I think is awesome), but even when substitute instructors step in, the experience has always been great.
