I recently had the pleasure of working with Rickie, and I must say, his expertise and dedication to his craft are truly remarkable. If you're looking for a high-quality violin and exceptional customer service, look no further! His passion for violin-making was immediately evident as he attentively listened to my requirements and preferences.

Thanks to the Rockley Family Foundation and Italia Violins, I’m overjoyed to play my stunning Old Master viola with the Miami Symphony. I also picked up one of their electric violins for my solo performances—it has a rich, powerful sound. Both instruments are absolutely fantastic!

Great service and excellent work! The shop is always fun to go to and speak with the staff. The crew is always knowledgeable and is happy to talk stringed instruments with nerds like me, even though I’m nowhere near even just a “novice” in my abilities. They’re happy to give tips and insights, and they’ve made a dedicated fan!

Came in with lots if questions. They were so patient and guided me through the process. I now have a beautiful instrument with a deep mellow sound. Local small business. Don't bother with the large stores, they are lovely people.

A store where you find a variety of instruments, quality 100%, and different prices. They explain everything you need to know before your purchase. The best store in Florida.

Rob, one of the owners, is a third-generation master builder of violins with 40 years of experience. His attention to quality and detail is unsurpassed. If you're looking for a high-quality instrument make this your first stop. Highly recommended!
