Had a genuinely wonderful experience working with Potter Violins. Jim Kelly was extremely helpful, taking care to select instruments after we discussed my needs, goals, and preferences. He expertly demonstrated them to narrow down final candidates for trial, and was great with communication during the process, answering my questions quickly and completely, and always with the good humor and kindness of a friend. A lot of shops play games, but I felt like everything was exceptionally transparent and up front during the entire process. I couldn’t recommend Potter Violins and Jim more highly. I love the viola they helped me find; it could have been a years long process but was made quick and easy with their tremendous connections, inventory, and people.

This place is amazing. I started to rent a student violin from them about a year ago. And I recently used the rental credit on a purchase. Below is what I found out about the different programs they offer:- Purchase -They have a broad range of selections for purchase, from instruments that're cost friendly to collectibles.- Rentals -The Standard rentals ($30/mo for an violin) comes in great quality for students.- Rental to Purchase -12 months worth of your rental cost will go towards your purchase as credit. For example, 12 mo of Standard violin rental will give you a total credit of $360 towards your purchase of an instrument. But, the instrument needs to be priced at $720 for you to use your credit 100%.- Trade-in -They recently took out the $250 restock fee. So now, 70% of the price of your current instrument can be creditted towards your next purchase.

I had a really great experience with Potter Violins when looking to rent an instrument. The staff is friendly and communicative and their rental instruments are high quality. I couldn’t help but notice that they had an extensive selection of music too! 10/10

Extremely helpful and accommodating staff, wonderful instruments and amazing service. Wish they were closer to us, but the 2 hour drive was worth it!

I had a great experience picking out my new violin! Jan was exceptional at letting me try Violins and helping me find the sound I was looking for. I was really impressed by the space and selection!

I have had endless positive experiences working with Jim and the staff at Potters. I have purchased multiple fine instruments from this shop, have had hundreds of fantastic bow rehairs and always receive top notch customer service. Jim is extremely dedicated, patient and has a history of working with customers until just the right instrument is sought. Jerry's bow rehairs are the best and most consistent around. Rob is a gem when it comes to adjustments and instrument advice. He's also a fantastic violin maker. (Check out his fiddles!)I always leave more than satisfied. I consider this to be the best violin shop in the area hands down!

The absolute best violin shop in the mid-Atlantic. The knowledge and workmanship of their luthiers is unparalleled. Friendly and fair service. Many professional string players visit from NYC, Chicago and even farther away to have their fine instruments worked on here. Highly recommended!

This business came highly recommended from my daughters violin instructor and it did not disappoint. I drove over an hour and a half to pic out a violin for lessons. They were very busy but I was promptly helped and on my way back home with a beautiful instrument.

The Takoma Park location is a beautiful store in an elegant renovated estate. The friendly attentive staff completes instrument repairs and rehairing of bows in an efficient manner. It is a joy to peruse the sheet music room. All in all, a magical string experience! I look forward to visiting again. I have also had happy experience in the Gaithersburg store.
