Mike Sheriff is a rare fine craftsman and a wonderful person to deal with. He is professional and…read moremeticulous, fair and exacting, and the DFW area is very luck to have a top quality bow maker in town. Like his bows, he is very responsive and expertly balanced. Famous as a bowmaker, he also makes violins, and his handmade rosin (used, I heard, by the Dover Quartet) is very fresh and high quality. His turnaround time for repairs is very fast, and he is honest and generous with his time and expertise. Five stars and many thanks.

I have been working with the Buraks for almost a decade. They have always produced quality work and…read moreprovided excellent customer service. I worked with Nicholas a few weeks ago because my cello was in dire need of repairs. I got my bridge, soundpost, and strings replaced, as well as a seam repair, for a very fair price. Nick was communicative the whole process. Edward (my cello) came back as good as new. My previous cello was made by their luthier, and it is still in excellent condition. I am very fond of that instrument. I trust Wayne Burak and Associates with my repairs, upkeep, and everything else associated with my instruments. I highly recommend them to anyone.

I was extremely impressed by my experience. It's my experience that if a violin shop doesn't ask…read morequestions about your level of playing, your preference in tone, your budget and so forth, it's not worth a visit. Burak asked all the right questions, brought violins specifically for the preferences I shared. I had his undivided attention for an hour while we went through an impressive number of violins...at least a dozen. He didn't pressure me. He gave me honesty and the freedom to pick an instrument that I enjoyed. He discounted a new case and even offered a free rehair for my bow. Amazing service. A kind man. Tremendous selection. He remembers your name; he makes sure he has your best interest in the center of the sale. I live quite some distance from their shop, but they have a very happy customer.
