An indescribably awesome family-owned small business. A consummate luthier, probably the finest for hours in all directions. We drove an hour and a half to have our Knilling Bucharest serviced and spent half an hour in the shop dreaming of playing the Weibes & Vettoris. The Wyatts have a stunning range of violin family instruments for rent or sale. Entry level student models all the way up to centuries old masterpieces. I can't recommend this place enough.

The Wyatts always take care of my fiddle problems and are such very nice people. They are extremely knowledgeable and honest without any overbearing "selling". Their repairs are well done and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend them when wanting to buy a new violin or rent one.
