Reviews about Wm Mason Violin Shop - 40

William

I had my violin refurbished and a new bridge put on at WM Mason and they did an amazing job. Elyse was extremely helpful and explained everything in great detail as to what my violin needed. She was thorough in allowing me to try out different bows and chin rests to ensure I got exactly what I was looking for. WM Mason has a great selection of bows from beginner/student level all the way up to professional. They can meet the needs for any type of player. When I decide to upgrade to a nicer violin, WM Mason will be my go-to violin shop! They also make their own high-quality rosin in-house. Can’t recommend enough WM Mason for all your string needs!

The team at WM Mason have been fantastic to deal with. They genuinely care about helping people find quality instruments that they can grow old with. It’s easy spending an hour or more talking with them. If you’re looking for an instrument or looking to get work done on an instrument you already have, don’t hesitate to visit these fine and caring people.

I have a violin that had been sitting in my grand mother's closet for 30 years and she gave it to me to play. My current violin teacher recommended that I get a new larger full-sized violin and I should reach out to William and Mason for a new violin. They were very nice and allowed me to try out various new violins in my price range and even allowed me to take one for a week to try out. After much consideration, I decided it would be more cost effective for me currently to just repair my current one rather than buy a new one (since we discovered I already had a full-sized violin) and the builders at William and Mason were all to gracious in helping me with this as well. The repairs on my current one are excellent and they were very nice and helpful in making sure my current violin met my standards, and those of my teacher, and I couldn't be happier. My old 40 year old violin is almost brand new and the sound is amazing!! They were very helpful and considerate in how they handled business and how they could help the customer get exactly what they wanted and needed. They were also very knowledgeable in what would work best for my current violin. Great experience and I will always recommend this shop to others looking for a local shop for any and all strings repairs and purchases, and I will be sure to go back if I need any additional services or needs. GREAT PLACE!!!

Enjoyed my stop today. I had a old violin, that's been in my family for a long time. In the end, the staff convinced me it would be a pretty steep cost to invest repairing it enough to sell. But, they agreed to taking it as a donation and maybe (hopefully) they'll get it back to service in someone else's home.

Took an instrument there to see about getting it fixed. The people were lovely but after 3 weeks of not hearing a word from them I went and got my instrument back. I cant attest to their work, maybe it’s top notch, but as far as the costumer service and advertising they will evaluate and repair your instruments I have justified doubts. Again nice people but as someone who was excited about getting an instrument fixed or at least an estimate I am very disappointed and unfortunately wouldn’t take things there to get fixed. That’s all fine, I understood it was a different instrument than you usually work with, but you asked me to send you information including the Erhu restoration kit on amazon which is all that was needed to repair it, which I did that day. Then 3 weeks goes by without hearing from anyone, not even an email reply. Just raises suspicions. Just say you have no interest and don’t waste my time, or keep your customers informed. I don’t think that’s to much to ask and that’s why I left you a negative review. If you would have communicated at all I would have left a positive review. Unfortunately it seems like you don’t care about your customers or maybe you were hoping I’d not show back up and you could keep it. Again I can’t say because i have no idea what you guys do besides not fixing instruments or calling customers.

Went in to get my little cousin her first violin. Wonderful people. The store and the workshop in back are very clean and professional looking. They had a violin player on TV showing my little cousin what she could get to with practice. Will recommend for all string instrument players. Ask to look around and take a look at the upstairs. Very cool building and you leave feeling like a million bucks.

The folks at WM violin are awesome. They have been so helpful with my son's cello. We switched to them from Roberson's and it has been completely worth it. Better pricing for a better instrument, plus personalized service.

The Masons graciously agreed to host our daughter's first solo violin recital, and I swear, they were almost as excited about it as we were. They were the most gracious hosts. They looked after every detail, from making sure that the acoustics were perfect, to providing comfortable seating and reception space for 30+ guests. Most memorably, the owners and staff were so encouraging when our daughter got a last-minute case of the nerves. That's because the people at WM Mason are vested in the young musicians of our community and truly love their craft. I can't say enough about this amazing couple and their business.

A gem in the heart of Fredericksburg. The best place for stringed instruments in central Virginia. Perfect for student rentals and the hand made violins are true works of art. My family has used their services for 10 years and never been disappointed. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Stopped in to see about a cello for my nephew earlier this year (July 2015). We wound up getting a fantastic tour of the shop. If I lived in the area I would definitely look at an apprenticeship here. I found their knowledge of the instrument's history and construction to be both deep and broad. While my nephew wound up with a school rental, if he sticks with it we will be back to look for either an upgrade rental or purchase.
