Been going to Sal for years. My children are violinists and have had all their violins worked on here. Sal does amazing work and at a fair price. We recently bought an old violin that Sal restored for our daughter. She fell in love instantly with it. If you’re a serious musician, going to see Sal is a must when it comes to having your instruments cared for.

It's been a long road from bidding on a very poorly kept and unplayable violin to getting my violin restored, but I am so happy to have it now. Initially, the two piece back was split. There was excessive wear on the edges of the top, and a chipped corner. The neck was at an odd angle, and there were quite a few cracks. I brought it to Sal who was very kind and reassuring despite the fact that I am fairly neurotic. He was very patient and helpful, and the violin turned out so beautifully. His prices are very reasonable as well. Please see the before and after pictures. I highly recommend a trip to this shop! One day I will upload better after pictures... read full review
