John is absolutely amazing. First he’s great with kids but most importantly he really walked me and my daughter through this process. I’m a single mom of three and I was convinced that I couldn’t afford this. I was expecting to hear bad news. John was warm, patient, and kind as he thoroughly explained the pricing options over the phone. He helped me realize that renting a violin was super affordable. The process was quick and easy. Thank you John and thank you Lisle violin shop.

This is how they restrung my cello. Take a good look at the D string. And the guy took about 40 minutes to do it. Next time I’ll buy the strings and string my own cello. Rookie mistake on their part.

People are very helpful here especially Mike Fahey. My son Ethan picked his own full size violin which was tried and approved by Mike.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

What exactly is the process of repairing a violin?

Dakota Alexander | Oct 18, 2018
Lisle Violin Shop - Houston Central | Oct 18, 2018

We need to see the instrument to assess what sort of repairs are needed. The workshop can provide an estimate for you for the cost of repair and what will be done to repair the instrument. Repair costs vary widely with the type of repair needed and the associated labor and materials.

Do they sell violas here

Baekon and ChanYolk | Oct 18, 2018
J Mills | Oct 18, 2018

Yes - violins, violas, cellos, and basses. They sell and rent. If the instrument is for your child, I'd highly recommend renting at first.

How much time/money would it cost to have the strings replaced on my violin and have it tuned? Also, what is the lowest prices metal mute and bow rosin you carry? I want to come in today if possible and be playing later on in the day.

Paul Falls | Oct 18, 2018
Lisle Violin Shop - Houston Central | Oct 18, 2018

Violin string sets start at $21 plus tax and we do not charge to install or tune the strings however they will stretch quite a bit in the first couple of days so they will not stay in tune for very long until they settle. Our rosin starts at $2 and the metal mutes are $15 for violin. Installation of strings usually takes about 5 minutes.
