Phenomenal customer service, patience, attention to detail and violin knowledge. For example, the bridge had a hairline crack that he noticed and proposed a new bridge replacement. My personal frame needed a higher center mounted chin rest, for which he identified, fitted and installed. After just south of 40 years, my violin needed a “tune up”. My violin has more blended and brilliant sounds, especially with a newly haired bow. Thanks, Mike, for making my day!

Mike really cares about your instrument and it felt really good to leave my violin in his care for repairs. He also gave good advice for things to look after with my older violin so she can keep singing for a long time. I'll definitely be going back for future maintainance!

As an adult, I decided to learn to play viola. I reached out to several shops, and Mike was by far the most responsive and helpful of any. He recommended a teacher in my area, and got me set-up with a rental instrument. A few minutes of talking with him, and you realize he has a passion for seeing students learn on great-sounding instruments at a price that doesn't break the bank.nnEven after I bought a viola from my teacher and stopped renting from Mike, he still responds quickly to my questions. I don't know how he can give so much attention to every customer, but I know I'll recommend him whenever I get the chance.

Mike worked on a violin from 1783 and made it sound like new and was willing to donate it to a local foundation, which gave it to me. This violin means so much to me and helped me substantially throughout my cancer treatment. Also, since I trust his work, I brought two of my bows in to be rehaired and he did a fantastic job (which did not surprise me). Definitely who I’m going to with all my violin needs!

A dusty old 1919 violin followed me home from an estate sale a while back. I strung it up and played it a couple minutes before one of the tuning pegs splintered—brittle, I suppose, from decades in a dry attic. Realizing it was in need of professional medical care, I brought it to Mike. When it emerged from his operating room, it had a brand new set of geared pegs, bridge, sound post, end pin, and freshly planed finger board. I’ve been playing it for a few months now, and I love this crusty old fiddle. The geared pegs are great. They look just like traditional friction pegs, but they never slip with changes in the weather. The violin’s improvement in tone is a testament to both Mike’s art and his craft, which combine to make an instrument sing. His rates are very fair. And he even delivered the fiddle back to me down here in Portland. Thanks, Mike!
