What Our Customers Are Saying

    Murphy's violin shop provided us with a truly worry-free experience. We had rented a cello from this place for 8 years. The rental cello's quality … More exceeded our expectations. My daughter practiced cello almost every day. During the past 8 years, we visited the shop only 2 or 3 times to fix some minor issues, and we were treated warmly every time.We finally purchased our first cello last week. Ken spent an hour with us to help us choose the right cello. We loved the cello that we purchased from Murphy's shop. And my daughter couldn't help but smile whenever she started playing her new cello these days.Thank you, Mr. Bob Murphy and Mr. Rob Murphy.

It’s refreshing to deal with someone … More who genuinely cares about his customers and takes the time to make sure everything is handled properly.He was straightforward, helpful, and made the entire experience easy and stress-free. I truly appreciate his honesty and excellent customer service. I would highly recommend this store and Rob to anyone looking for someone they can trust. I will definitely be coming back!

    Such a cool place!Matt helped my daughter find the right size cello to rent. The staff was super friendly and helpful. I forgot name of the person fixing … More some strings, but he was super kind and telling us about his dad and his singing career.The experience made my daughter really excited about her cello journey, and we are looking forward to purchasing her own in the near future!

    I have been renting from Bob Murphy's for several years now. They have always provided top notch service for my rentals and have always had equipment … More available. I decided to transition to the next level with a purchase. They helped me pick a violin out with honest and insightful guidance. They gave me a great credit since I rented from them. With that, I was able to invest in an even more quality violin. Highly recommend supporting this Mom and Pop store so they can continue to service the community for many more years!

    Super happy that my son's violin teacher recommended Murphy's rental for his violin instead of buying yet another one from Amazon or the classifieds. … More The rental is a much better quality, and a higher price segment, than what he was using at school.Murphy's also has a superb onsite repair facility. When his strings broke a few weeks away from his state exams, they were able to replace them within minutes - no wait time, no second visit to the store.As an added benefit - the rental portion of the monthly fees converts into credit for future instrument purchases, in case he decides to stick around and upgrade his instrument a few years down the line.
