F A2023-10-12Dan was so kind and helpful with my daughter's new (secondhand) violin. As someone who has very little knowledge about violins myself, it was reassuring to receive advice from someone so experienced and generous with his knowledge, to make violin ownership/maintenance a little less daunting.do al2023-09-02My son broke the strings of his violin yesterday and we need to have it fix before Monday. I found Fiddler Dan Violins & Workshop (via internet search) and called Dan to check my son's violin. He was very accommodating and asked me to come over. Dan fixed our violin in no time. We're glad to know that we have someone close by to service my kids violin in the future. Thanks, Dan.Carlos Andres Villegas Quintero2023-08-22I went to the shop and I had a great experience , the owner is so kind and he helped me to fix my violin. 100% recommended !Phil Vardy2023-08-18Wonderful service at this violin shop. See Fiddler Dan before going anywhere else. P.Luci Vandenbos2023-08-16Dan was so so helpful. He helped restore an old friend to me, my first instrument, my beloved double bass, fixing the neck the fingerboard and damage to the side, amazing work and helped me to work in stages with my budget. So grateful my heart is singing in deep resonate tones already! Thanks Dan you are such a blessing ❤️QIANQIAN WANG2023-08-16Mr Fiddler was so helpful with fixing the broken string. He even tuned the violin without me asking for it. Definitely come back if my kids messed up with their violins down the track. He also showed me some beautiful full size European violins which I am considering to purchase a couple for my kids when they need to upgrade 👍 Any issues with your violin he is the expert you need to talk to👍👍👍Kulsum Khan2023-08-05Dan’s great and very knowledgeable with the strings’ instruments!Susan Bradbury2023-08-02I took my mandolin to Dan to check a couple of problems. He fixed them on the spot, but also showed me how to do it myself. After giving me advice about another instrument and some cello strings, he would accept only the cost of a cup of coffee for his trouble. I highly recommend Dan, a highly skilled and generous man. Thank you!Jacqueline Avery2023-06-03Dan was amazing! He had my daughter play the different violins to see which one she could get a better sound out of. She now has a beautiful violin, bow, and chin rest with rosin. It is just above an entry level full sized 4/4 violin, and it has higher quality strings on it. It is gorgeous with a beautiful sound, and my daughter and I are so happy with our purchase. 🎻 Edit: We are back nine months later getting a string replaced, and Dan went through some basic techniques with my daughter, as we weren't able to secure a tutor where we lived. It just made her day, and she was so proud of her progress. She is so much more confident with holding the bow and everything. Dan is most certainly, the man! 10/10 would recommend!
