This shop was recommended by nearby Boston University Tanglewood Institute staffs.
The job that I needed was done correctly, but I ended up spending several times the money I could have spent at a ordinary city violin shop. This person obviously took advantage of my poor knowledge about string instrument and persuaded me to do a few other unnecessary work done in addition to a simple job I requested for.
The way this shop owner behaved is exactly like what you might experience at a auto repair shop with greedy and dishonest mechanic. Do not fall pray to this person's smooth and civilized tone of talk. He will extract maximum amount of dollar from you if he finds that you are ignorant about the instrument.
Just be careful!
