Nazareth Gevorkian Violins

We are very grateful to have found Rachael Lonergan as a cello teacher for our 5-year-old son. She…read moreis incredibly patient and wonderful with young beginners. Her extensive teaching experience really shows in the way she explains concepts clearly and at a level that our son can easily understand. We especially appreciate her strong understanding of the fundamentals of the Suzuki Method and how she applies them thoughtfully in her lessons. She creates a positive and encouraging environment that makes learning the cello enjoyable for a young child. Her studio is always clean, organized, and welcoming. Rachel is also very easy to work with, accommodating, and professional. We highly recommend Rachael to any family looking for an experienced, patient, and knowledgeable cello teacher, especially for young beginners!

Rachael has been my cello teacher for a little over a year now and I would wholeheartedly recommend…read moreher to anyone interested in picking up the instrument. As an adult learning how to play cello for the first time I definitely had my reservations about who I would learn from. Should I just go to a general music school for varied instruments and hope for the best? Or seek out someone who is an expert in the instrument I actually wanted to learn? And which expert to choose? There were tons of options available for private lessons but I decided to stick with someone local to SFV, who taught both children and adults and had many years of teaching experience. I figured someone who could handle both populations would be patient and accommodating enough for me. As luck would have it, Rachael was the right choice for me. I'm a high school teacher, and every time I go in for a lesson with Rachael I recognize all the elements of good teaching happening between us. She provides immediate, useful feedback, provides accountability, and challenges me with pieces just within my range of development. My goal is to be able to play at the intermediate level and to possibly play in an adult volunteer orchestra and I've been happy with the progress I've made with Rachael as my teacher. If you're on the fence about whether it's worth taking private lessons, my advice is to consider what you ultimately want out of your playing cello. If you're stuck, do you want an expert's feedback? If you're bored, do you want a challenge? If you're lazy, do you want a little pressure? If you're curious, do you want a knowledgeable guide? And what's an education worth, really? I'm proud to consider myself a lifelong learner and Rachael, as my guide, has been a critical part of my continued enjoyment of the cello. Don't wait! Schedule something with her today. You won't regret it.

For starters, the windows and posters have seen their days that one might think that it is out of business, but it is in fact not and quite the opposite - tons of space inside! They have a variety of instruments and supplies, including a cleaning swab which I was looking for. And the plus is that they also offer music lessons in private rooms - even same day! I had an initial same-day oboe lesson with Phil, and we had great conversation. However, I have to admit that I didn't learn too much, and that we spent most of the time talking. The person working at the front was pretty chill, but paying for lessons wasn't very clear from the beginning - recommend being more specific with those. Their website is via Tumblr (?) which is a surprise. Lessons were $40 / session, and they recommend one session per week (but how long is a session?). Overall, I wish that there was more clarity on this side from time to payment the moment that we signed up. Parking was fairly easy to find on the street or in the lot in the back. However, do note that parking on the street is via metered parking and not free most hours. Return? Potentially for some music books!

Since then, she has always been very flexible to find the best time for our lessons. It's been very helpful with my busy schedule. Additionally, being a mom, I'm often tired and stressed out and Emma provides a relaxing and supportive atmosphere to learn. She always takes the time to see how I'm doing and adapts the expectations of the day in function of how I respond or feel. She is a very good people-reader and is very empathetic. As a professor, I know that it's not easy to be a good pedagogue who adapts to the learning style of his/her students. Emma figured out really fast what time of learner I was and adapted her teaching methods to my pace and the type of instruction I responded best to. She makes it easy to understand where to place your fingers, how to strum, and the best way to remember chords and transitions, etc. She is extremely patient but, at the same time, challenges you to always be better ! Overall, I've learned much much more that I could have ever expected in just one month. I missed a few lessons but I always feel like I'm progressing every time I see her.

Nazareth Gevorkian is a world treasure, hidden in Van Nuys. Around 2008, at Mr. Gevorkian's shop, my husband bought me a beautiful violin, bow and case. It was an old violin from France which Nazareth had repaired and restored. I loved it and played it a lot. But horribly, this year during July's heatwave, when I was tired and distracted, I set it down in the parking lot while loading other stuff into my car, and forgot that I had not put my beloved violin in the car, too. (Never do this.) As I backed out of my space, my car's tire started to roll over the case. By the time I realized what was happening, the violin was badly damaged, it was a wreck, the case crushed, most of the neck and scroll were destroyed. I think the case he'd sold me was pretty good, though, because the bow (which he had repaired for me once, beautifully) was fine. And the violin's body, though damaged, still had a violin shape. Without blame, Nazareth kindly agreed to attempt to repair the mangled instrument. He estimated it would take him about a month to fix. One month passed, and he called to say that it was ready! Yesterday, he returned it to me, even better than new. It looks amazing and sounds and plays so beautifully! The price was very reasonable, considering that the work he does --fixing broken hearts as well as broken instruments-- is priceless. read more

Over the years I have bought two violins from Mr. Gevorkian for two of my children, and I have been very satisfied with the results. I was referred to him by a talented violinist, but the first time I went to his shop I was a bit nervous because I am not a violinist, and it was my first time buying a violin. However, I found him easy to work with, as he was attentive and willing to give us a generous amount of his time, while not being the slightest bit pushy. After a few years went by and I got a bit more experience with other children and other instrument shops, I went back again to his shop. At that point I even more appreciated his restrained yet attentive approach, and ended up buying a second violin from him as well. It seems like his selection of student violins is not large, yet I have the impression (both from personal experience and from more knowledgeable friends) that the violins he has tend to be good instruments in their price range. read more

I was searching on yelp for a five star Violin luthier and I found Nazareth, a very kind and gentle person. He did an excellent restoration on my son's Strad copy which he thinks is about 60 years old. He restored it beautifully and it sounds great and looks new. Mr. Gevorkian changed the sound post, glued the tiny crack, placed a new bridge, tailpiece and new set of strings. He polished the instrument and tada! came out a new old violin. He is also very flexible with his time and explained everything before he started restoring the instrument and after the job was done. He is a professional luthier and a professional orchestra violinist and he played on my son's violin awesomely. Thank you so very much Nazareth for your time and detailed workmanship. Now I know where to go for my 3 kids violin needs and maybe get a new violin and bow from his shop in the future. read more

Mr. Gevorkian is an excellent Luthier, with quick and reliable service at a very reasonable price! For the past ten years he has been exclusively re-hairing and repairing my son's bows, fine tuning them for the differing world humidity and temperature environments in which he performs. A world famous violinist our son studies under also highly recommended him long after we had already been entrusting him with our son's expensive bows. Mr. Gevorkian is very professional and honest while soft spoken and gentle. His small shop is very warm but well organized. On many occasions he has been able to accommodate bow repairs within 24 hours. We highly recommend him to all string players for any instrument repair. read more

Wow what a fantastic surprise when I discovered this gem 5 miles from my home. I am a professional violinist with over 30 years experience. As most are, I am very meticulous and pretentious when it comes to my instrument and it's set-up. Mr. Nazareth is an amazing human being, he analyzed my violin and listened to my concerns with tons of patience and soul. He made a few adjustments and with his magic touch the violin gained a much better projection and sound. It was honor to meet him and I am anticipating many visits with him in the future. Very competive pricing especially for what you get. I will see you soon for re-hairing of my bows. Thank you so much! read more

I have brought my violin an bows to Nazareth for years. He has always done a beautiful job on my re-hairs and very fine work on my violin. Recently, I brought him my french bow which had been knocked out of my hand during a rehearsal by a colleague a few years back and had fallen on a marble floor. The ivory tip had broken off, the frog was chipped and the pearl eye on the screw was no where to be found. Nazareth restored the whole bow with a new mammoth bone tip, a new eye, filled in the chip on the frog and a beautiful re-hair. The bow looks and plays like new, and is absolutely gorgeous. I can't recommend Nazareth Gevorkian highly enough. read more

Gevorkian Violins is the only place in LA I now use for bow re-hairings. It is worth the drive even from Santa Monica!! I first heard about Nazareth Gevorkian via a friend's professional cellist son, and I have had viola, violin, and several cello bows re-haired in the past few years at Gevorkian's. I love his impeccable and intesting shop, he's done bow repairs too for me, very sensitive and careful to address my specific problem with a bow frog, etc. The quality of the repairs and re-hairs are great and stand up to the test if time, once I am out of the shop....and his prices seem to be about the lowests, too!! ). read more

I was referred to Nazareth through my mentor, who is one of the most respected violinists in the country. In the years that I have known him, Nazareth has always been very cordial, accommodating, and by far the best Luthier I've had the pleasure of knowing. And considering my travel schedule, he has always fulfilled my last-minute requests with the utmost speed and understanding, and, most importantly, efficiency. He is a master at his craft, and I strongly recommend him to anyone in need of the very best service. read more

I took my cello to Mr Gevorkian based on Yelp reviews - Not only was I pleased but pleasantly surprised. I am a beginner with a Chinese-made cello that needed a new bridge. Mr Gevorkian agreed to replace the bridge at a fair price. When I returned to his workshop he met with a smile and showed me the work he had done. Not only did he replace the bridge as discussed -- he made made some improvements to my cello free of charge. Nazareth is a very kind man who clearly loves his work. read more

Nazareth is a wonderful, kind and highly skilled luthier. He immediately spotted a couple of issues with my daughter's violin that had not been pointed out by the last luthier we used, and fixed them to make it easier to play.

I can't recommend him enough - you won't be disappointed!!! read more
