It was SUCH a pleasant and amazing experience visiting Noble Strings Shop..Mr.Clarkson was extremely patient, kind and so very gracious with his time. He was also very knowledgeable answering so many questions I had. I could tell from his shop and instruments made how skillful he was at what he does. Would HIGHLY recommend...especially for all you Violinists out there 🙏

Thanks Roman for getting my daughter's violin ready to play again, The pegs were sticky and it was hard to tune. Not only did Roman fix this, but he cleaned up and adjusted the instrument for a very reasonable price. I appreciate your expertise and your clear explanation of what the instrument needed.

Beautiful violins that sound incredible. I have been wanting to learn violin for a long time, and I am very honored to learn on such a gorgeous, well-crafted violin. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable and will even give you pointers, no matter where you are as a musician. I highly recommend Noble Strings!
