Alpha strings is the best shop to purchase a violin! I am Mariachi and have spent months looking for a violin upgrade. I visited Mario’s shop and was amazed by his customer service! He listens to the client’s needs and wants. Violins have many tones, and he knows his violin extremely well that he starts to suggest some based on your preferences and of course price. It took about three violins before I fell in love with the one! (At other shops, I have tried more than five and was never impressed.) I have had my violin now for over a month, and I am so happy with it! He even taught me a few tips and tricks during my visit! If you are looking for a violin, definitely stop by Mario’s shop; you will not regret it!

Went there to get f post adjusted and changed a bridge. Mario did a great job and was super friendly and helpful. If you want a stress free place to buy an instrument or need a tune up, I highly recommend Mario. He has student violins as well as high end ones. If he doesnt, he can get them for you.

So knowledgeable, helpful, and has SÚPER GOOD PRICES! As a music teacher it’s hard to go into a music store because most of the times I know more than the clerk, but this store was PHENOMENAL! So well informed and ready to help any level of player.

Mario was super friendly and knowledgeable on all his products,defenilty a place to get all your violin needs. I purchased two violin bows while I was there but due to me having to travel he sent them out quickly!😁

Mario’s shop is our go to place for all our musical needs. Very professional and courteous. If there is a product he doesn’t have he will order it for you and it arrives very quick! We will continue to take our business to Alpha Strings!

If youre considering to buy a high quality violin, you definitely should consider coming to this shop. Mario (the owner) will not only offer you violins that respect your budget, but he will also take the time to make sure that you are completely happy with your instrument before making the purchase.Surrounded by warehouses and other small businesses, Alpha Strings is like this hole-in-the-wall violin shop that you go to in order to get all your musical equipment at competitive prices be it a new violin or just a Dampit humidifier.In addition to offering a great selection of instruments - from student violins, to Ming-Jiang Zhu and Wojciech Topa violins – Mario also brings a large sense of sincerity when working with you. Advertising himself as a violinist first and businessperson second, he strongly encourages you to not only trial his violins but also violins outside of his shop. In this regard, he is more than happy to give his recommendation on a violin that best fits your need - perhaps even if the violin is not from his shop.It is definitely a pleasure working with Mario as he brings in so much honesty and authenticity into the discussion; you can tell that he ultimately wants you to succeed in your musical goals. You dont have to take my word for it though; get in contact with him should you need a new violin and see for yourself that there really are honest businesspeople out there (or in this case, inside a small suite filled with violins).P.S. As of March 2021, Alpha Strings is allowing people to visit via appointment only due to COVID-19. Definitely e-mail/text before coming in person!

Second time I come here to buy my violin/other supplies and he does not disappoint! Very patient and knowledgeable about his instruments, don’t hesitate to shop here for all types of prices he has on his instruments.

Plain & simple… it’s the best! Thank you Mario for always being my go to when I need anything and everything!!!

Ive been in the market for a new violin, and as a beginner I wasnt sure how to start. Thank goodness I picked Alpha Strings!! Mario was so patient, so helpful, and very nice funny and sweet..he explained the differences in different violins, and demonstrated three of them for me, inside and outside so I could get exactly what I was looking for in a violin. His prices beat anyone I had found online, and I will definitely be a repeat customer..highly recommend, youll be well taken care of and not taken, at Alpha Strings :)

Most convenient prices! Thank you :)

Very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend them. It was easy to set up an appointment and got what I needed at a great price and he even threw in a freebie.

Excellent!!!Good products, good prices and great service.
