This past weekend I was going to breakfast down the way, and had some time to kill with the wait so wondered on down. This is a GREAT local music shop with small venue in the back. So many instruments and a very cozy/warm atmosphere. The converted house is the perfect building for this type of business. The owner (or one of them?) was quick to greet us and show us around the place. I tried out a couple of vintage instruments when I was there and he was very knowledgeable and informative about what I was playing. Looking forward to coming back for a live performance at sometime. They seem to have routine jam sessions as well as touring musicians stopping by the place.

I do enjoy how he takes time to explain why we do the songs in certain ways and how it helps with the development of your child. It is always a welcoming environment and Mr. James is always happy, friendly, and excited to teach class. I would recommend following them on Instagram and joining the email listserv because there are times where he will host a pop up class for free - this is always great because it will give you an opportunity to take class and ask all your questions. You can see if it is something your kid will enjoy (which I'm sure they will!) and just see how the class is structured.

Sadly, this last Reno winter helped me understand why humidity control is necessary for solid wood…read moreinstruments in places with large temperature shifts. My ukulele developed a small crack, and needed repair. At the same time, how lucky to be in a town where a skilled luthier is on hand! Wesley at Strings of Reno (new name of the business) offers free estimates, and when I explained the problem, he gave a very detailed explanation of why humidity control is important and some immediate suggestions on how to manage it in a practical way. His estimate for repair was reasonable, and turnaround time was 3 weeks. Great to know if I need a new setup or adjustment he's nearby! His workshop, by the way, is pretty cool. You can see his tools and an array of instruments and some retail from the customer counter. TIP: From the street, go down the shared driveway/alley and park in the center when you see the "Strings of Reno" sign.

Really impressed with Wesley's knowledge and demeanor. Very friendly and helpful, and his shop (now…read morecalled Strings of Reno) is stocked with all kinds of useful stuff for musicians. His pricing for our ukulele repair was very reasonable and he didn't try to upsell us on anything. Also provide fantastic advice regarding proper humidification. The location itself is a little out of the way, but worth the drive for top-notch service that you can trust.

This place in Reno is a gem. Dod, is a gem. I bought a violin from him in 2000, came back to have…read moreit repaired. His knowledge and passion about his profession is unmatched. He blew me away with his knowledge and recommendations. Even threw in a free viol lesson for me! It is very hard to find this type of quality and care and commitment to one's profession. For one, he answered his phone on a weekend outside of working hours. He was very flexible with meeting me, very friendly, and went out of his way to help me. His prices are probably lower than they should be, he really just cares about his work. He improved the sound of my violin, I didn't even know that could be done. The location threw me off, I wasn't expecting it to be inside of a house. Some of the older photos show it out all. It's no longer at the mall.

I received an electric viola and a carbon fiber viola for my birthday and asked Mr. Dodd to look…read moreat them for me. There were several issues that needed to be addressed (some of which I was unaware of until his discerning eye pointed them out). Mr. Dodd carefully showed me exactly what needed to be addressed, why, and how he proposed fixing it. About a week later (what?!?!, that never happens!), I picked up my violas and was surprised at how much their tone and action had improved. This is a shop of true professionals. As Mr. Dodd was showing me what work needed to be done on my violas, his associate was busy with a wood chisel, shaping a violin. I've asked various violin/viola players I know, (plus my amazing viola teacher), and they all share the same opinion. Mr. Dodd is a fine man - honest, objective, and trusting. And he runs his business that way. I found that to be true. Dodd Violin Shop has my business. 1. Honest. 2. Competent repair shop. 3. Passionate about their art. Very refreshing...
