It’s all about customer service and Johnson’s has it down. Thanks for listening to us, and making it easy to rent a great, easy to manage instrument for my young cellist! The practicing part is the hard part and is definitely our job, but it at least we don’t have to worry about the instrument. Thanks Johnson Strings!

Thee place to go for string instruments and supplies. Rented for a few years until we finally purchased. Always helpful and was quick and easy to get strings replaced when they broke on a rental.

My three kids have been all renting voilin from Johnson string, but the experience I had yesterday was very upsetting. I walked into the store to get the bridge on the rental voile fixed. There was a lady named “Xiao” at the front desk, she was not helping anybody while everybody else was helping other customers, I was waiting and waiting, she didn’t intent to help me while she was obviously free. And I tried yo talk to her, she had no response, it is quite weird feeling that she is treating me like an air, she obviously knew that I was waiting, but no words, no reaction. I tried a few more times to talk to her, she still had no response at all.it caught other employees’ attention. They all looked at her and had the confusing expression on their face. Finally one of the employee volunteered to help me out, it only took 2 mins. I visited the store too many times to count. Everybody else was super helpful and welcoming except for Xiao. I don’t think she should work there in that attitude. She obviously has issue going on and threw it to the customer.

It is like everywhere else..

Do electric violins have to be protected from humidity?

No. Electric violins are usually made of carbon fiber or something similar. Because they aren't made of wood, they therefore aren't susceptible to the instrument cracking, getting an open seam, warping, etc. due to humidity and temperature changes. Sometimes an electric violin could have a wooden bridge (the only wood piece of the instrument), but that's not always the case.
