Long time customer since 2015. Dave is fair, honest and very knowledgeable. I have to travel 2+ hours but I am never disappointed with the service and the selection of Violins.

Dave's been my goto guy since I started learning violin in 2011. I drive further and pass others because you can't go wrong @ The Fiddle Guy!
Kind, passionate, and really loves his work. It shows.

Very kind people! Was looking to rent a mandolin and they called me as soon as one became available. Tuned it up, provided a pick, the works! Super reasonably priced too - I recommend these guys all the way
