“Excellent service and inventory”

Johnson Strings has become my go-to for violin supplies. Their string inventory is comprehensive, well organized and easy to navigate on their website. Service is prompt, and products from high quality manufacturers such as Bois D'Harmonie are almost always in stock.

Thank you for sending me somebody's returned item. The box was filled with foreign newspapers and other persons's UPS shipping slips. Item itself was in good condition but not a good shopping experience.

It was easy to renew violin online. Quick, easy instructions, and was glad to do it on a Saturday from my computer.

I ordered a book, I got the book! All went well. This app says I have to type 100 words before it will post. Lets see if it will post now.

Easy to call and order the next size up. It was delivered quickly and they make it easy to return the previous instrument.

I was even informed of a change in materials (CD no longer included, just an audio via website link); very thorough company.
