I've been playing the same old German violin for 33 years and i went to Claire Givens looking to see what else was out there, and perhaps see if i could find another violin to bring home. From the start, Claire Givens staff were exceptional. Leah and I exchanged emails and talked on the phone. She was knowledgeable, engaging and genuinely excited to help see if we could find me a new violin. I got the impression that they really care about finding the violinist the right instrument and listened to what my needs were on both instrument versatility and sound. When I came in for my appointment I was given a tour of the shop (which is beautiful) and brought to a room, prepard for me to try out violins. The whole experience was fantastic, and I couldn't be happier with my new instrument. The hardest part was making a final choice since the whole process of playing and listening (Leah is an excellent violinist) to each violin only served to underline that Claire Givens has nothing but the finest, most carefully picked and well cared for instruments. I also got to send some time talking with Claire who listens carefully and is so incredibly knowledgeable. She obviously has a deep understanding and love of stringed instruments. I'll be back again for sure to choose a bow and I can't recommend them enough.

The service at Claire Givens during this pandemic is wonderful. The curbside process is personable and efficient. They have the same great advice via email and phone. They also have in store service by appointment. For me it was a great opportunity to have my cello checked and try out an upgrade cello and bow in my home. It really was easy and pleasant.

I'm incredibly happy with the new violin and bow I just purchased from Claire Givens, which is the second instrument I've purchased from the shop. They have a very generous trade-in policy for instruments previously purchased from them, which I was able to take advantage of. Sales associate Leah was a great help in the violin selection process. The shop is going above and beyond to keep customers safe during the pandemic; everyone is masked, customers are screened for symptoms, and there are shields at the checkout desk and in the showrooms. Thank you Claire and staff for being such an asset to our neighborhood and community.

Givens Violins was recommended to us by my son’s Violin teacher. We wanted to purchase a violin after renting one for several years from our local music shop. Our experience there was fantastic! Leah was friendly and knowledgeable. The measures they provided because of CoronaVirus made us feel safe. We bought a beautiful instrument and look forward to a continued business relationship with Givens.

I met with Leah Meyer to try out some violin bows to purchase. She was very helpful in my selection process, as was my daughter who also plays and accompanied me to the violin shop. I tried approximately 7 bows and wound up purchasing three. They had a good variety and I never felt rushed or under any pressure. It was a lovely experience, start to finish! I would definitely return there if I ever need to upgrade an instrument or need supplies.
