Jim is super knowledgeable and so helpful! He did a quick (and good looking!) cello repair; he also was honest about what needed to be done next and didn't try to upsell us on any extra work....Just a straightforward, honest assessment of the instrument. His price was extremely reasonable and his dry sense of humor made the whole (potentially terrifying) experience delightful.

The gentleman who runs this shop is so nice! He's friendly and knowledgeable and he put my new strings on my violin for me because I was afraid to do it myself. I am a student violin player but I buy my strings from him instead of online because I like shopping at local small businesses. I'm really glad we have a luthier in town and I'll be sad when he retires.

The absolutely most professional and elegant violin shop. Violin Luthier James Kytonen is phenomenal! I am a student and I purchased one of James’ violins in 2019 and have been playing it since. I would recommend this place to any professional or beginner! Thank you!

My d string is broken and the brand is a weird unknown when i ordered it. The owner didn´t give any specific brand of violin that it is.

They helped fix my violin, and gave me a new case because mine was breaking, it was amazing to be there.

I purchased a wonderful violin here. Great service and excellent setup. James spent a great deal of time with me. He is personable and very helpful. Zero pressure. After I made my selection he spent more time refining the setup until it suited my ear. Highly recommended!

The owner made sure the needs of the musician came first. In fact, the customer behind us needed a smaller cello. He didn't try to make a buck...he helped him find a smaller cello at a different shop. Honest and fair.
