I'm honestly not sure I can put into words how nice of an experience I had here. I was in the…read moremarket for a new violin and thought I'd give Cornell a try since I hadn't seen any negative reviews. I called to make my appointment, which I originally thought I'd have to do on the weekend since all other string stores are closed by the time I'm off work, and Molly was happy to give me some time on a Thursday night. I think I was there till a little after 8 and at no point did I feel rushed. When I arrived she had a select few violins ready for me to try for my level. In our initial phone call I hadn't given too much information about my skill but her selections for me were 100% what I needed. From reviews at other shops I thought I was going to be pressured into buying something expensive that I didn't need. That was absolutely not the case here. The selections she showed me were all in my price range and she answered any questions I had to make sure I chose the perfect instrument. I'll definitely be coming back.

I was also having some issues with the electronics, and he offered some good options for replacing them. I couldn't be more pleased with the result. When I picked up the guitar after all of that work (new frets, pickup, pre-amp, and set-up), RJ spent more than an hour with me making sure the set-up was just the way I wanted. He told me to play it hard for a couple of weeks and come back if there were any issues. Make sure you read the website and understand the process for working with them.

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.
