Please do not come to this Ronald Sachs location to buy an instrument unless you are an experienced player or know your stuff. I bought a decent (or so I thought) instrument from here years ago when I had very little knowledge about violins and was starting off my violin career in high school. James especially scammed me and sold a violin worth max. $2000 for more than double the price. I should’ve known better. I recently took my instrument to another luthier and another violin shop and they told me my non-English speaking parents and I were absolutely taken advantage of. Now, I know not to go to this location and to never do business with James. None of my colleagues or professors recommend RS because so many of their students have been ruthlessly scammed by this man. Please do your research and take these instruments to a trusted luthier BEFORE purchasing, and please try to stay away from this RS location.

They have a great selection of high quality instruments, bows and a great repair department. We prefer to work with James for his knowledge, attention to detail and love for the industry.

They took very good care of us.Had us in and out the door quickly and explained needed repairs in detail

Fantastic selection of instruments and great staff. I had an idea of what I wanted when I came in and the staff helped me find a violin to get back into playing. I wasn’t pressured into buying more than I needed and ended up with exactly what I went for. Great sounding instrument for a reasonable price.

Ron and his staff at the Lilburn store location have repaired, restored and maintained my professional instruments and bows for 20 years. Their work is. . . perfect, to keep it simple. The violin set up is very clean and open, and the bow rehairs are perfectly balanced and weighted. Ron and his staff are also very willing to help with walk-ins and emergencies. A few years ago, Ron personally drove to the Lilburn shop on a Sunday (when they were closed) to do an emergency repair on my violin. The work was superior, and he kept me on stage. Last month, Ron fully restored my Voirin bow to like-new condition (see picture), after my 30 years of playing it, and a few hundred years of its aging before that! My bow looks like new, and Ron kept all original parts on it. Ronald Sachs and his staff are true master luthiers!

Today we had our first experience at Ronald Sachs Violins and it will definitely not be our last. We were shopping for a cello upgrade for our high school daughter and had many questions. The staff was very patient with us while she tried out different instruments and we asked all of our questions. Their inventory was plentiful and the quality of their instruments were top notch. We were very impressed with the entire experience. They stand behind their products. We will definitely be back for all of our future orchestra needs. Thank you so much to Joel who really took the time to listen and help us choose just the right one. We have a very happy cellist!

Best violin shop in gwinnett!!!! We are renting a school instrument...they have great service!!!

Best place ever!!! The staff is so kind and every time I have a problem with my violin, I go there. The price for the violin was perfect compared to other music stores. The staff is also willing to help and thats the best part.🎻

Bought a full size violin here a few years ago and go in there time to time for strings and other items. Always the best customer service. I gave them a budget for the violin and they stuck within that and found us a beautiful sounding and looking violin.

Ronald Sachs has been our go to store for Violins & Cellos fixtures for a decade. Employees always friendly and welcoming with us when ever we go. Always glad to help with something as simple as buying a new string or tuning an instrument. Always had a positive experience, wouldn’t go anywhere else in Gwinnett.

Its all in hurry. They have only enough time to swipe ur card.

I purchased an instrument from here. The staff is ALWAYS extremely friendly and helpful. I go back for maintenance and accessories when needed. I would recommend buying an instrument and accessories from Ronald Sachs Violins Lilburn.

Professional great staffs

Needed some work done on an old upright bass. Got a new bridge and nut installed and fitted in just one day. Plays and sounds so excellent now. I am very satisfied with my service experience.

Excellent instrument builder and staff

Great value for purchasing my daughters violin which she has played since 2011 when she was 6 y.o., and finally upgraded (for free) to a full size violin today. It was a great investment and I would highly recommend it to any parent interested in their childs brain development. My younger son is playing cello now and really loves his 1/4 cello which he just upgraded too. It is money well spent! Staff are friendly and helpful!

Ronald Sachs is a reliable seller and service shop for violins and other string type orchestra instruments. Their staff is knowledgeable and helpful. They are focused on quality, theyre never pushy about sales, and they have a very good trade-in/trade-up policy.

Great work. They took great care of my daughters cello.

Awesome customer service! We got our cello tuned up and our bow rosin in less then 10mins!

Ron is the best of the best. Reliable professional repairs at reasonable prices. I just tried out their own E string and love it. It feels great and shifting is smooth and easy. The tone is mellow, yet powerful. And of course, beautiful instruments.

I am a parent of a Suzuki student and we have been customers of Ronald Sachs for over 5 years. The rental program is the best deal you will find. Every monthly payment goes towards payment for the violin so you eventually own the instrument. As my daughter has grown, we have sized up her instrument at no charge. Ron and Ben have always given us excellent service when weve gone in for adjustments and repairs. Both of them are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about string instruments. I can wholeheartedly recommend Ronald Sachs Violins.

The workers at the store were very nice and they explained very carefully. They also gave me a discount on the things I bought. I would really recommend this place to go to if your looking for something that is a decent amount for a really nice item and that is worth buying for. Thank you for your service!

Very sharp staff. They are very helpful in getting my cello back to playing level. Thank you!

We choose Ronald Sachs for three reasons: honesty, integrity and the highest quality selection of instruments at a fair price. My wife and I need to be able to recommended her students parents to a Luthier that consistently delivers on what they promise. Ron has shown us he cares deeply about each instrument that goes into each one of our students hands. Also ordering a rental instrument online is easy. When it comes to honesty, Ron will be direct about what he believes the problems are and how he can improve the instruments play ability/sound quality.

We went here and multiple other places looking for a violin for our 7 year old. The man who helped us was very friendly and helpful. We decided on their rental plan which was a great deal for us.

On a whim, 6 months ago I looked up a local violin shop to rent a violin to learn to play on. I was totally shocked at the super low rental cost of the beautiful instrument they gave me. During my first lesson with a violinist recommended to me by a friend (Paul Mercer), I was told that I found myself a really high quality and well set up instrument to learn on. Andrew, who runs the Marietta store, was really helpful and very friendly. I came back just the other day to upgrade to a carbon fiber bow, and was sold a really excellent bow for a very affordable price. If youre considering picking up a stringed instrument or need one serviced, I this is an excellent choice!

Best customer service. Happy to give them my business.

They had great customer service, explaining everything and even gave me a discount. I bought a violin that it works beautifully. Also includes lifetime maintenance and a full refund when you get a better(more expensive) violin in the future. Best string instrument shop!

I had a fantastic experience with Ronald Sachs. He and his entire staff were extremely friendly, open and knowledgable. I bought a very pretty French violin (circa 1860) with a beautiful tone. Im thrilled with it. No hard sell. I played several wonderful instruments with some great bows- no pressure. Couldnt have been more hospitable. Bruce Altman

Ive done business with all the big name guys in New York, but none of them were better than Ron Sachs. When I moved here, I was told about his shop and upon meeting him, I knew I had found a jewel. He knows his stuff, and consistently delivers at a level exceeding expectations. Thats craftsmanship and good business, both of which I appreciate. He is very gifted at being able to optimize any instrument. He services my school orchestra accounts, picking up and delivering directly to school according to my schedule. He shoots from the hip on an appraisal, and I am confident that no rehab is beyond him.

I have had the pleasure of having Ronald and his skilled staff work on the little guy, my fiddle, and the big girl, my upright bass. Both of these instruments have been completely transformed. I could not be more pleased with the quality of workmanship and professional service. My experience was to walk into the business as a customer, and leave as a friend. I most highly recommend Ronald Sachs violins for anyone who needs an instrument or top-quality repair work. Thanks guys!John and Janice Severence

As a private teacher, I dont let my students go anywhere but Ronald Sachs to get their instrument. I continue to be amazed at the work they put into making each instrument to the finest detail. Not only does Ronald Sachs make student models that have impeccable craftsmanship, but the playability, tone, and dynamic projection of their instruments are exceptional. The setup of their student model instruments have proved far better than even the upgraded/professional models sold by any of their competitors. Whether you are an advanced student in search for a professional instrument or a parent looking for a rent-to-own beginner model for their child, I highly recommend Ronald Sachs for quality instruments that far exceeds that of any of their competitors.

I had a great experience renting my daughters bass from Ronald Sachs Violins. Not only did Ron have everything ready and waiting when we arrived to pick it up, he took the time to talk to my daughter about the bass and encourage her in learning to play. We had a terrible experience at another string instrument store, with the owner telling my daughter she was not big enough to play the bass and that there were no basses small enough for her to play. My daughter was thrilled when we called Ron Sachs and he had exactly what we needed! I would recommend this store to anyone who is looking for a string instrument.

I have at least a dozen of my private students that have violins from Ron Sachs, including my own personal instrument. By far, Ron is the most caring, precise and expert craftsman I have ever encountered. There are plenty of good places in Atlanta to purchase instruments -- however, hands down, it is unlikely that you will find better customer service or thorough workmanship in your experience. Even though the location is inconvenient for me, I am willing to make the hour trip to get things done right and for my students to get the most superb instrument possible in Atlanta. Thanks for all you do to serve the music community, Ron -- I REALLY appreciate your skill and generous heart!

We have been using Ronald Sachs for years. Started with a tiny student violin rental and we now have a concert quality viola, student viola, 2 student violins and a cello, all from Ronald Sachs. I think we are adding a bass soon! The quality of the student instruments cannot be beat. It does matter what kind of instrument you rent/purchase for a student. Poor quality instruments will frustrate the kids. When we were ready for the concert viola, Ron was so helpful and helped my daughter find the perfect viola. It does not matter if you are purchasing an expensive instrument or renting one for a beginner, they make everyone feel important. Highly Recommend! It is worth the drive.

Very friendly. We got a violin for my daughter orchestra class. The process was super easy, they knew what we need. In and out faster than I ever thought. Thank you!

Im a high school senior about to go to conservatory. I have been coming to Ron Sachs ever since my parents rented a quarter-sized cello for me. I keep coming back because of the great quality and service. Whether the job is small or big, I can count on Mr. Sachs to do an amazing job. I recommend his shop for any one in the area looking for a quality instrument and/or service!

In the spring of 2012, I purchased a beautiful W. Raabs violin from Ronald Sachs. This was one of the best music decisions I have ever made! Not only have I been thrilled with the quality, tone, and setup of the instrument (as well as the price I paid for it), but the continued service for the violins upkeep that R.S. offers is tremendous, and unmatched - from my experience - by any other string shop. This instrument has served me wonderfully for both solo, chamber, and orchestral work.With such a great experience, I recently went back to R.S. when shopping for a 7/8 cello. While violin is my primary instrument, I needed a cello upgrade for pedagogy and gigging purposes. The quality of the service I was met with once again exceeded my expectations. The staff members I interacted with were both helpful and accommodating, and the lovely Howard Core 7/8 cello I ended up with has been perfectly suited to my needs.I highly recommend Ronald Sachs and look forward to continuing to receive the excellent, quality, honest service, for which they are known, in the future.

Ronald Sachs took several hours with my son while he chose a violin and a cello. I was impressed with the service that we received. We were not rushed and felt no pressure at all. Mr. Sachs gave us a fair price on our trade-ins and went the extra mile to give us an excellent experience in his shop. I am very pleased, and I highly recommend this dealer.

Ron has always done the highest quality work for me. Ive had several re-hairs done for by now at his shop and Ive never been disappointed. There are very few places I trust to work on my instrument and bow and Ron is one of them. I would highly recommend him to all my students and friends in the Atlanta area.

Love that place! Always accurate and helpful! Thank you 😊

Best service in Atlanta. They know their stuff. Good deals on violins and after care service.

In the three years I lived in Atlanta, I always took my cello to Ron and was extremely satisfied with his work! Once he did some substantial adjustments and twice just cleaned it up/touched up the varnish etc., and every time I walked away pleased. Hes extremely knowledgeable and while he seemed a bit aggressive at first always listened and got it back to me quickly. Id definitely recommend going to Ron!

I started playing the cello a few years ago as an adult with the thought of making it one of my pursuits in retirement. Having a music background helped, but I soon realized that the student instrument I was using was not going to satisfy my desire, and began looking for an advanced cello that would help me in this endeavor. I visited several violin shops asking questions, and trying cellos of different qualities and prices. Finally I went to Ronald Sachs Violins and quickly realized I had found someone who had real expertise in setting up string instruments. While I had visited many find violin shops, when I meet Ron I found a person who gave me straight forward answers to my questions, and truly helped me find what I was looking for. Ron has a superior ability to make an instrument sound its best and yet be comfortable and playable. In subsequent visits to his shop I met several professional musicians from the Atlanta area who rely on Ron for repairs and adjustments. This spoke volumes to me. I have now had many conversations with Ron and have come to realize that his mission is to help musicians of all ages find the instruments that will give them the greatest success in their music career. Ron is honest, knowledgable, competent, and I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great string instrument. I finally acquired a wonderful cello from Ron that my teacher feels is worth much more than the purchase price. The cello actually became a retirement gift to me from the congregation I had served for over 22 years. Rons delightful assistant Jonathan, went out of is way to help my church leaders make arraignment for this surprise gift. He knew the exact instrument I was wanting to purchase. Just glad I waited on the purchase! Thanks Ron, for all your help.

Ronald Sachs is a great place to do business. Ron is always attentive and courteous and is very knowledgeable. I purchased a student violin from Ronald Sachs and it was far and away a better instrument than anything near the price anywhere else. The instrument is beautiful, has great tone and is absolutely dependable. On my occasional return trips for supplies or adjustments Ron and his staff have always been very helpful. Price for value, you cannot beat Ronald Sachs and Ron stands behind everything he sells. It is well worth your time to drive over to Ronald Sachs Violins. I highly and enthusiastically recommend them.

Ronald Sachs Violin Shop is a vital part of the musical landscape in the Atlanta Metropolitan landscape. If you are just starting out looking for an instrument for your child, for yourself, or are an advanced student or professional musician – Ron will be able to help you. Speaking as a professional cellist, Ron has a gift to make any cello sound as good as it can regardless of what price range it is in. Anybody can sell instruments, strings, and associated equipment, but the art in setting up the instrument to reach its full potential is key in order to produce with ease the sound and clarity one looks for in an instrument. This is critical for a beginning student who needs all the help to feel good about the first notes on an instrument all the way to a professional musician who needs their instrument in top form at all times. I have and will continue to recommend Ron Sachs as a must stop for musicians looking for quality workmanship, quality instruments, and the unique knowledge in how to have instruments setup to achieve the best sound possible.Daniel LauferAssociate Principal Cello of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and customer

In this market, you find Rons shop in the top rank. Atlanta is lucky to have his expertise. He is frank and blatant in his business, but in a way that leaves you sure that he knows his work. I bought my very first cello from him ten years ago, and I was pleased with my experience and how hes always been willing to help with cello problems every time Im in the area (even though I no longer own one of his cellos). Good store, this one.

I have purchased instruments and used services from several Atlanta shops. Ron has always been completely reliable and forthright in his services. The instrument I purchased is everything he said, and more! He has helped me with adjustments and is always available for advice and assistance. I cant recommend him highly enough. He is a pleasure to work with and Im feel fortunate to have found him.

I have taken 3 upright basses to Ron for set-ups; two of which had pretty horrible action. With each bass, Ron was very friendly, attentive to my set up goals, and offered plenty of advice and ideas to get me there. Each bass has come back with an exceptional set up...and I mean unbelievably good; like a whole new instrument. There are plenty of basses (of all levels) available to try in his showroom, and they all play like a million bucks, from the student models to the professional performance-grade basses. Go and see for yourself.The service has always been timely and competitively priced. I highly recommend that anyone needing or even thinking of getting some work done on their bass visit his shop. If you think your bass plays good, Ill bet he can make it play better.

As a private teacher and as director of several student groups, I see a lot of student violins, violas and cellos. The instruments that come from Ron Sachs are *always* good, without exception. They sound good, stay in tune well, and are easy to play. As an ASO musician, I have also trusted Ron for many years to work on my professional level violas and bows. Thumbs up!

They deserve it, nice and kind staff alway in your service I gave you 100

I’m a professional cellist in North Carolina and went to RSV to get lots of work done on my cello (endpin, bridge, fingerboard, pegs, rehair!) and this shop was better than I could have expected. They got all my work done in just a week and gave me a loaner cello to use in the mean time, and were extremely professional and knowledgeable. I had tried multiple luthiers before RSV and I will now never go to anyone else! I very highly recommend Ronald Sachs Violins!

A real great student rental experience. Everything we needed at one location. Our daughter started playing viola in 4th grade and is now in 7th grade. As she is a tall girl, who has grown to almost 510 in that time, we went in at the beginning of each year for rosin, a new book and to have the size of her viola checked. It was so nice to know it was just a simple exchange to get another instrument as she was growing. This was the first year she didnt need a larger size so they replaced a couple strings, tuned it up and she was ready for another year.

I have played violin for over 50 years and played the same instrument for 44 of those years. The adjustments and repairs that Ronald Sachs has just done for me have given my instrument a new voice. He enhanced what was already a fine rich tone, and made it easier to play too. I couldt be more pleased and excited. There is no other place I would think of taking my instrument for its 50,000 note tune up!

Wonderful people wonderful place very reasonable and they will work with you

Hands down the best violin/string shop in the Southeast. Ron does incredible work and is always honest. Perfect place to go for first time buyers -- 100% trade in value, well set-up instruments, and all money paid in the rental goes towards the purchase of the instrument -- as well as a perfect place for veteran players looking to upkeep, sell, or purchase instruments. I have never received a mediocre bow rehair, and love the way my 1929 Italian violin plays and sounds after being set up by the Ron Sachs shop. Ron and the staff build their reputation on honesty and on producing a pristine product that speaks for itself.

I got my violin from there it was nice it was good.

I recently had two concert quality violins set and adjusted by Ron Sachs. The work involved a new sound post, planing of the finger board, peg adjustment and a new bridge. When the violins were given back to me, I was amazed at the improvement of the sound and the quality of his work. I also thought that his fee was very reasonable.

Highly recommend this store. Staff is very helpful and honest. Exceed my expectations a bunch! Thanks to Google and everyone else who helped rated this store thats how I found it.

Last July, I had some emergency work that needed to be done on my bass. Though I had never taken my instrument to Ron before (Im from New Jersey), he took great care of me. The not-so-simple repair that should have cost me an arm and a leg was done in a timely manner and didnt break the bank. Not to mention, the integrity of the job was of the utmost quality, and it is holding up very well to this day. Many thanks to Ron for taking care of me and my bass, and I would recommend his work to anyone.Kelly

Ron sold me an excellent instrument that will last me for years to come. If I ever need any work done on it, I will go directly to him, free of charge. Great shop and great owner.

I am a professional violinist and teacher and Ron Sachs is first on my list when I recommend a string shop to my students. The equipment and services that he provides are top notch and the prices are fair. As a professional performer, I trust Ronald Sachs Violins with my instruments whenever they are in need of maintenance or repair. In fact, my $14,000 violin is in his care as I write this review.

Ronald Sachs Violin Shop is the best in the Atlanta Metropolitan area! I was told when I moved here 10 years ago by several Atlanta Symphony violinists that this was the only place I could trust to take my violins and viola. Almost all of my students rent or buy from Ron even though he is located much further than some of the other shops. I dont know of any other shop where the complete rental goes toward the purchase of an instrument. Ron also gives full value for a trade up and he has a full range of instruments from a good student instrument to professional Italian, etc. In addition, Ron has been very helpful to guide my students in finding an instrument to further their college studies in music.Katherine Jenkinsprivate violin teacher for 30 plus yearsdirector of The Huncliff Fiddlers1st violinist with the Georgia Philharmonic Orchestra

I have known Ron Sachs since I was a kid. I can remember sitting in his shop for the first time trying out instruments and taking my time with the decision as I always do. I picked out a good instrument and my mom paid about $1000 for it. I still play that fiddle and still love the sound of it. I can always trust that Rons work will be high quality because he doesnt allow instruments to be sold or repair work done that doesnt meet his standard. Ron is passionate about what he does and he is a straight shooter. If you ask what your instrument needs he will tell you everything that needs to be done in order to get it to its full capabilities. His bow work is excellent and he catches every repair needed every time you walk in the door with a question. I play Bluegrass most often in my professional playing career, Ron caters his advice on instrument set-up for my abrasive playing style because he has worked on instruments for players in every realm and knows just what to do in every situation. Dont mistake an advisement as a sales pitch. He truly believes that every recommendation will optimize the instruments he works on and he is right. There is a reason that I frequently see customers from other states in his store when I am in the shop-They recognize the quality of his work. He has the largest fiddle shop in the Southeastern US with the biggest selection of quality instruments available. Before you make a decision about a rental or purchasing of an instrument, at least visit his shop-Why wouldnt you? He has more selection than any instrument store for hundreds of miles and he simply refuses to allow anything but the best quality work leave his shop. As an orchestra teacher and gigging musician I can tell you that you wont find better quality in Atlanta-Can you spot it when you see it? So can the members of the Atlanta Symphony, because most of them get their work done with Ron!Danny BermelPHD Student at the University of GeorgiaString EducatorBluegrass Fiddler

Most amazing knowledgeable professional service and high quality instruments. Highly recommend it!

Hi, Keith Dudley here. My daughterCaitlin was playing a violin from another local supplier. And after a year, we had some issues that seemed unresolveable. So, my wife Jessica heard about Ronald Sachs. We went there, got a violin, and was very pleased from then on. Some of Caitlins classmates even commented on how well it sounded. Great Shop.

I have been a customer of Ronald Sachs Violins for the past 10 years. Even after moving several hours from the area, I choose to make the return trip to a business who has become a trusted friend. Ronald Sachs Violins is my only choice whenever maintenance or repairs are needed on not just one but two stringed instruments.Ronald Sachs Violins has proven to be knowledgeable in their craft, fair in their pricing, and efficient in their work all in a comfortable, spacious environment.

Went through the process of finding a cello and James Woodall was very helpful! He answered all of my questions and played the instruments for me. He also let me observe my bow’s rehairing process which is something I’ve always wanted to do!Very happy with my experience here and the quality of their instruments.

I contacted this company twice to inquire about a violin. The first time I called, they were very cold. The sales person rushed me off the phone and said he would call me back. He didnt. The second time, James answered and he was EXTREMELY cold to me. He seemed as though he didnt want to be bothered with someone like me. After our conversation, he very abrubtly clicked down the phone in such a way that confirmed that he did not want me as a customer. I am black by the way and I am sure he could tell. There was just an energy that came from him that spelled prejudice. I have lived in Georgia all of my life and I can recognize racism when I see, and hear it. I am really thinking about reporting them to the Better Business Bureau. I am definitely going to spread the word in the string community here in Augusta about how they treated me starting with the string professors here at my school and the string teachers in the public school district.

Very lucky to have a shop of this caliber in the Atlanta area. Ron has done major repair work on my ASO bass twice, and both times the instrument sounded better when he was finished, and the repairs were immaculate. Given the choice between sending my bass off to Albuquerque for a few months or having excellent work done locally, believe me, Ill choose Ron every time.Friendly, knowledgeable, professional. Very highly recommended.Michael KurthBassist, Atlanta Symphony OrchestraArtist Affiliate, Emory University

I have been shopping at Ronald Sachs for years and always leave satisfied. I always get great deals on quality products for my viola, and will continue to purchase from here. Thank you for the great service!

Great service and quick repairs. These guys are true professionals who love their craft.

I took my 19th century French violin to Ron a year ago to have some extensive work done, and Im so happy that I did. Not only does it sound so much better, but it looks beautiful and you cant tell a single thing has been done despite the intrusive quality of the work. I took the instrument to him knowing it didnt sound as good as it could, and he was able to quickly identify where the problems lied and explained to me exactly why the proportions werent ideal and where they should be instead. He re-positioned the angle of the neck, thinned the thickness of the neck and fingerboard as well as readjusted the curvature of the fingerboard, refit my pegs and made them flush with the scroll, refit the button, made me a new bridge (!!), gave me a new tailpiece, finished it all off with a nice clean and polish to the body. All in the name of good sound. His attention to detail is incredible and he cares about quality first and foremost, and Im so happy with the results! He and his staff are so knowledgeable, I would definitely recommend for anyone to take their instrument to the shop.

My familys experience with Ron has been nothing less than amazing. From the fall of 2008 to the present, he has been the one we depended on to take care of our instruments. I am sure we are not unique in this aspect, because he does the same for everyone. With three children involved in music, it has been an expensive venture, but through it all Ron has remained flexible. Our finances have always been stretched, but he has never refused to offer an upgraded instrument or to assist us in other ways. I would say that the instruments offered are just as good as any other luthiers in Georgia. I truly appreciate the way he has taken care of us over the years. Without his generosity, my children would not have been able to advance as far as they have in their musical endeavors. It has been a wonderful experience.

Awesome service. Friendly greeting from the moment I entered the shop, helpful suggestions to enhance my ability to master the cello, and above all, resolved my concern with instrument.

My daughter and I had the best service! James was outstanding in giving us the best information and experience we could ask for and meeting Mr. Sachs was an added bonus.

Very good customer service. Repair violins and bows very well!

Best vilion shop in Altanta even Georgia area. Professional and patient service. From newbies to professional, they help to choose the right one for you.

Ron did beautiful work on my violin. I was very nervous to have anything done to it by anyone but the maker (who passed away several years ago), but it finally got to the point I had to have it worked on. I have always trusted Ron and he persuaded me it indeed needed major work. When I got it back I was VERY pleased. It sounds every bit as good as when I first got it, or better! Thank you Ron. You did it again!Ronda RespessViolinist with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra

Great service, they told me were to get lessons and wich were better. Great violin shop

First-class experience! I brought a student in to try cellos. Ron had a great selection of both cellos and bows. We spent almost 5 hours at his shop trying instruments and saw that Ron, although multitasking between customers and repairs, treated everyone fairly. After choosing the instrument, Ron worked with us on the trade-in value of the previous instrument and met all of our demands, including installing posture pegs, a carbon-fiber endpin and doing a soundpost adjustment to open up the instruments resonance - free of charge and on the spot.

Ive had Ron work on cellos, gambas, baroque cellos, and violones. The (sometimes extensive and restorative) work has always been exceptional. It has been done quickly and the instruments are always much better when Ron finishes with them. I have no qualms in recommending Ron, and do so often.Martha Bishop

They always take care of what needs to be done and their service with my school is amazing and the people are so. Patient

Great place for getting our kids string instruments (violin & cello). Wonderful service and a good selection of instruments and various supplies.

We are from Louisiana but make it a point to stop when passing through. The workmanship and service is really awesome at Ron Sachs. Our stops can never be short, because there is so much to see, hear, play and talk about. Weve purchased two instruments (and a bow) and are very pleased with all. Everywhere we go, we are always complemented on their sound! - The Foto Sisters

I purchased a double bass from Ron last week and I could not be more happy. The setup on this instrument is absolutely amazing. Ron and his staff go above and beyond when it comes to specing out a new instrument or repairing an older one. In my opinion, these guys are the best luthiers in the Southeast!

Ronald Sachs Violins is the best violin shop in the South. I have been coming to him for 20 years and have tried all the rest of the shops in Atlanta. His work on instruments and bows is impeccable and on the highest order. He is a perfectionist and consequently, even with inexpensive instruments, my students have always sounded great! To me the most important thing is that Ron is completely honest and very knowledgeable. He has never lied to me. Unfortunately, some of the competitors in Atlanta are either incompetent or dishonest. Whatever you do....dont go to anyone else.Maestro Thomas LudwigJuilliard School graduate -violin (Galamian)Conductor for Mikhail Baryshnikov-Met Opera-American Ballet TheatreMusic Director-Ludwig Symphony Orchestra

No brainer for classical stringed insturments...only Voss Violins in town is comparable but if you are suburban Ronald Sachs is the best in the southeast 👍

Great service, wonderful instruments. Very knowledgeable staff.

I have an old fiddle that Ive been learning to play for the last year. Ive never been impressed by its sound quality, but I assumed that there wasnt much that could be done about it. Last weekend, during a quick visit to AtIanta from my home in North Carolina, I stopped by Ronald Sachs Violins to look for a new chin- and shoulder-rest for my fiddle. I was greeted by a very friendly salesperson who listened to my story and asked if he could take a look at my fiddle. He, in turn, showed it to Ron. Within moments, Ron evaluated it and suggested a half dozen adjustments he could make to it that would improve its sound and playability. I assumed it would take days to do all that work and, since I was returning home the next day, the work wouldnt be possible. But no: Ron said he could have it all done by closing time that day. I hadnt planned on spending the kind of money he estimated it would take to do the work, but I decided on the spur of the moment to go ahead with it. Four hours later I came back to the shop. My fiddle had been cleaned and polished; it had a glow Id never seen in it before. The salesperson plucked the strings as he handed it to me, and to my amazement the fiddle resonated with a bright, clear tone - nothing like the dull sound it had made before. With a fresh application of a high-quality rosin on my bow, I played the fiddle and couldnt believe how good it sounded. The G string wasnt rumbly, the E string wasnt shrill - each string had a new, beautiful resonance. I was very surprised and pleased with Rons work. If youre in Atlanta and have any needs related to string instruments, I wholeheartedly recommend Ron Sachs!

I have been a customer of Ronald Sachs Violins since the shop opened, first as a high school/college student, and now as a professional performer and teacher. Their quality of HANDMADE student rental instruments is absolutely unbeateable; they are the only place I recommend to serious students for instrument rental. Their prices are extremely competitive, pretty much the lowest you will find anywhere in Georgia for comparable quality for either renting or purchase of instruments. They are the only shop I trust to rehair my bow and service my violin. I purchased my viola which I use for chamber music from Ron, and I love it! The customer service is exceptional, and the shop itself is open, airy, and beautiful. You have to see it in person to believe it! I would recommend this shop without hesitation to both students and professionals.

I was quoted a repair price of between $50 - $100 for a crack in an old violin. After driving from out of town to his shop, I was ignored by Ronald and fast-talked by his employee. Ron was given my violin, looked at it for about 6 seconds and said $320. After that, he glanced at me but still didnt even even nod in my direction and got back to whatever he was working on. When I balked at the price, I got more fast-talk and the hard-sell from his employee about why I should spend so much on a student instrument. I left unhappily and with my violin still cracked.

I have been going to Ron Sachs since I started playing bass. Im now a music major, and I find I can still go to him for all of my different needs, from bows to strings to accessories, I always know that I will go see Ron and get the best experience and best repair.

Customer service is excellent!! My daughters viola sounds beautiful.

Excellent customer service. Great quality instruments

Welcoming and knowledgeable staff. Very pleasant experience

Im a Juilliard grad, double bass player, and have been going to Ron for over 10 years now. I trust only him with my bass, and no matter what shape I bring it to him in, he makes it look new and plays like butter. I bought my bass new from him and it is my soulmate! I always feel confident bringing it to their capable staff and never think twice about driving from Athens.

As a private strings teacher I am more than interested in where I send my students to rent or purchase their violins/violas/cellos. I have held, tuned and played various stringed instruments from all over the Atlanta area and I have to say that what consistently comes out of Ron Sach’s shop are really the best quality. Everything is done with such care, the mark of a superior craftsman. They all have great tone even in the smallest of instruments, and Ron makes sure that each is equipped with the best strings. It is this kind of attention to detail that keeps me sending my students and their parents to Ron’s shop. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my personal instruments! When it came time to buy myself a cello and my daughter her viola, I relied on Ron’s expertise in leading us to the finest instruments in our price range. If you live ITP, it is worth the drive! If you live OTP what are you waiting for? Spend some time at Ron’s shop looking at all the beautiful instruments he has and watch him treat new musicians to Atlanta Symphony players with the same respect, courtesy and professionalism.

Some of the best customer service Ive ever received, anywhere. Found my new violin store
