Kcm Luthiery

As a new cello student, my heart sank when my rental cello was damaged by accident. After reviewing what was broken and a long discussion about the repairs needed, along with an estimate, Kris fixed it up right quick. He also took the time to call me before starting the repairs to confirm the actual cost and how long it would take to repair.
When I picked it up, he reviewed what repairs he’d made and had me try playing it to confirm the quality of the repair. Upon noticing my skills — and rental cello — were perhaps… subpar, he recommended some excellent teachers, suggesting bringing back my rent-​to-​own cello once I’d finished paying for it in order to sell it in exchange for one that is of better quality. Which I will totally do!
Kris is a very nice man who takes a personal interest in what he’s doing; it’s not «just» a job, or at least, that’s not how it seems. Hopefully no more repairs are required but in the future I will get my instrument (s) from him. :D

This small shop specializes in instruments in the violin/​viola/​cello family, and skilled repair and maintenance of those instruments. They also have limited accessories, like strings, rosin, shoulder rests and cases.
The luthier, Kris, is very good at his craft. I first brought my violin there 5 years ago to redo some bad repair work from another shop, and he has been doing all my bow rehairing, fingerboard sanding, and other maintenance work since. He remembers all his customers and does thoughtful things like calling to let you know any upcoming changes in opening hours if he knows you are planning to come by.
For anyone in the market for a new instrument, this store has a good selection. Kris is also an instrument maker, so do ask to try out his creations. I had the chance to play one of his unique 5-​string violins, and it was great.
