My son has been playing the violin for 4 years. I have resisted driving this far (an hour each way for us), insisting I could get his needed equipment on the internet cheaper. I couldn't have been more wrong! What I desperately needed was the expert advice, for my son to trial different styles of equipment and to see the items up close. I needed an educated someone to say, "These are the benefits and drawbacks of this style and those are the same for that style" as well as a reasonable price range for each. They are fully equipped and you can try instruments and bows from cheap to "oh-my-gosh, expensive". I left there feeling very much the guilty mother for taking so long to get him there, and extremely relieved that we got excellent equipment at a wonderful price. The service was spot on and he has commented more than once about how comfortable his new chin and shoulder rests are as well as how much he loves the sound of his new bow! That is saying something, coming from a 15 year old boy! Thank you so much, Johnson String Instrument! We'll definitely be back!
