She did a wonderful job of finding my fiddle's true voice. I live in Alaska, but I will definitely bring my instruments back to this shop

I took my violin from my high school orchestra days and had it repaired here. It came out beautifully. I also bought a case and a new bow. I was very impressed with the customer service, workmanship and the knowledge of the owner.

This is boutique style shopping for orchestral musical instruments. EXCELLENT information on the website. High quality and antique violins, violas, cellos, and basses. Personal and PROFESSIONAL service. I love this place. I plan to purchase later this year, and will purchase again in the future.

I'm a Louisiana native who lives in Florida. My Florida-born hubby and kids have come to love and appreciate Louisiana and return with me many times each year to visit my family amd friends and to be surrounded by the refreshingly friendly people here-especially within the South Louisiana regions. My children have been involved with Suzuki Violin for several years and have been to different shops trying out violins in our area in Central Florida. All have been adequate but none have been especially enjoyable or memorable. To be frank, most of our visits at these places have involved an attitude of indifference or stiff politeness with a touch of condescension, unfortunately-especially if playing fiddle music is brought up. It just is not held in the same high regard that it is in SoLa.We have learned to adjust to this being part of their journey with playing violin where we happen to live. I have wanted to bring my children back home to Louisiana to find a violin/fiddle and hopefully have a more enjoyable experience purchasing an instrument. We finally made it to Sola Violin today and Anya, the owner, began helping our son find a violin he could play the music he had already been learning (mostly classical) as well as the Cajun fiddle tunes he has just started on. She patiently brought out instruments and offered feedback. She was the perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism. Not only did she assist our son in finding a bow and violin that paired well together and sounded great-all within our price range, she did so after closing and assisted our daughter with some long overdue repairs on her violin on the spot! This was certainly not expected, but so very appreciated! We had a most pleasant experience from beginning to end at Sola! So grateful there are places like this with owners like Anya who are so welcoming and helpful! Will return when back in the area ?

Took a trip from Mandeville to look at the possibility of upgrading one of the kids violins. Beautiful shop, and a good selection of old beautiful violins. Service was excellent. My son loves his new violin, he says it was the perfect one.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Plus it's not to often you find a shop that had more than just a extremely small violin selection that offers repair services as well.

I had only ever bought violins and accessories online so I was really nervous and anxious about going to a shop to purchase an advanced violin. Anya gave me a fair price for my trade in and was SO kind and helpful and patient with me while I tried out violins. The violin selection was large for such a small/cute shop and she was very knowledgeable about the history of each one. Anya made my first serious violin shopping experience not just easy but actually really enjoyable. I will absolutely go to her for future repairs and purchases!

We love this Violin store! We've been doing business with Anya, for years. We now own 6 violins and all but one were bought through Sola Violins.
