Really nice experience meeting Joseph and working with him to test violas and bows. The store front is organized and inviting. The location is so convenient for an independent instrument shop in Fairfax. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I will be recommending for students to come here if they need repairs, adjustments, or upgrades!Posted on Amit MathurOctober 5, 2022.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Very nicely maintained and premium instruments.Posted on A WMarch 29, 2022.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good. Just an FYI, one violin string costed $14. Our kid is just taking violin class at school, and we did not need such a top notch quality string. . .Posted on william pittmanOctober 12, 2021.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Mr. Joseph Yoo did beautiful work with the minor repairs my violin required. I’m happy to be able to play again thanks to this fine shop and it’s owner.Posted on Ottilia SmithJanuary 15, 2021.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. High praise for Mr. Joseph Yoo, owner and luthier. It was my first time bringing my beloved violin in for a crack and ‘overhaul’, which was long overdue. It required the removal of a bass bar and other miscellaneous wood glued inside the top and I had concerns about how it would sound after the removal and repair. I’d also brought in a 2nd violin for inspection and possible repair. Mr. Yoo’s professionalism was immediately apparent and appreciated. As others have mentioned, Joseph went the extra mile. He rejuvenated my violin - it sounds amazing once again and looks beautiful. The 2nd violin has huge sentimental value and Joseph also brought it back to life. He even put a patch on my husband’s double bass while we enjoyed shops in the mall. I don’t often make recommendations, but want others to feel confident of this trustworthy, talented and honest man.
