Great experience renting a violin. Exquisite customer service, was always well taken car of when needing repairs or maintenance. Would %100 recommend to anyone needing an instrument.
I was blown away by Kelin. The shop was beautiful with so many instruments all hand made from scratch by Kelin. He was extremely kind and helpful. He allowed me to try out 6 or 8 different bows and a violin to compare to my own. He spent a significant amount of time explaining the sound difference in my antique violin to his violins, showed me his special award-winning violin with a gorgeous antique-looking finish, and taught me many things about the violin I didnt know. I only started lessons less than 3 months ago. When Im ready to upgrade one day, I will be definitely going back to his shop.
Kelin Violin Shop is the place to go if you are wanting to purchase or rent any string instruments. I am amazed how every instruments there are made from scratch. We have been renting violin from Mr. Kelin since last year. Every time we ask for a renewal or change in violin size, the process has been easy. I highly recommend this shop!
Had this shop touch up my cello. They did an amazing job and were very nice!
Awesome experience, the owner could have charged me hundreds of dollars to re string my daughters violin, but he recommended less expensive strings since she is only 11. Very impressed. And they had some really cool violins for WAY cheaper than my daughters school charged me for hers. Really cool looking in there. Will definitely go back there from now on, he even stayed open late just to take care of me.
Kelin’s violin shop has some of the most beautiful sounding and Most unique Violins/Cellos around town! He has the upmost top notched customer service, technician and is always there to help you with all of you’re Violin or Cello needs no matter what! Kelin is very nice, courteous, patient, and has a-lot of experience working with These fragile instruments. Come check this place out! You will not regret it as there is a variety of Violins that is perfect for early or late Musicians. Highly recommended!!
Because of Mr. Kelin Zhangs work, the luster and beauty of my violin glows! He always do fantastic work. It is wonderful to have a Luthier we trust. Thank you. - Trenda T
Excellent service, very thorough, kind, and helpful. Have a wide selection.
Beautiful instruments. Great service.
PLEASE READ BEFORE COMING HERE. I was in search for a new violin and bow. I tried out the violin for a week and took a photo of the price that it came with.(Price Tag). I come back 2-3 months later and the owner tells me that the price of the violin is worth 2,000 more than the price that he gave me. I did not feel safe buying anything from this store. Same went for the bows. I tired one bow that was 2,000$ but the owner bumped the price up way more. The next time I came, the price went up over 5,000. I believe that the owner didnt see the sticker on the bow with a price on it and started bumping up prices for his shop for no reason. I just wanted to let everyone understand my experience. Customer service is very poor and I want people to know what they are going into. Respectfully.-Thank you
Beautiful instruments.
Ive had my cello here for 3 years, just switched to a full size today. Amazing service, staff here are really nice and the cellos are very well made. Would definitely recommend
This place is amazing. Very pricey though but you DEFINITELY get what you pay for. I bought my violin from here and the sound is AMAZING and the violin is beautiful. I also got my quality strings and now from here. As you can see, I’m obsessed with their products. It’s also great that you can test out what you’re interested in before you buy it. They put you in a private enclosed room by yourself to test what you want and the prices of the bows. You can find something really special here. Also, the owner is about the sweetest person you can ever meet. Everything about this place is great.
Very professional luthier violin shop! I always love coming here for my viola and violin needs.If you do your research, Kelin Zhang is a Certificate of Merit for Tone award winner in Violin Society of America. This is a acclaimed accomplishment that shows in his instruments!
I had been in this store few times and I feel the customer service is poor.!! I almost dropped my violin in the store after I completed my payments. He was supposed to keep my violin case ready locked and handover it to me nicely but he expects customer to check everything. even after the lady in the counter told me to pick the case . He is not ready to accept his mistake instead blamed on me..my advice to the owner is ..please do not leave the customer until he makes payments and handover the case personally to avoid accidents.
I recently went to the Kelin Violin Shop and I absolutely loved the experience! The staff was very friendly and I got the greatest deal on my cello outfit and accessory package. Gave me coupons that helped me save a lot! They made the whole process very easy and sold everything I needed. No unreasonable fees and a fantastic price.
After months of research for a violin shop, I found that Kelin Violin Shop is among the best family run string instrument shops in the DFW area. When walked into Kelin Violin Shop, I was greeted by the Premier Luthier/Violin Maker Mr. Kelin himself with a big friendly smile and his loud and energized voice of How are you, how can I help you!?This shop has been in the City of Plano area for last 20 years and they carry a wide range of HANDMADE violins, violas, Cellos, and Basses. They also have many rental and purchase plans for anyone interested in string instruments and serious and experienced music professionals. Go to Kelin Violin Shop and experience their friendly and knowledgeable customer service at the best priced string instruments. I was really pleased to have found this shop and I will certainly recommend them for anyone looking for an excellent music shop!!
Quality instruments & affordable.
Kelins Violin Shop has a great selection of cellos and is a nice place to purchase them as well. The owners are fairly nice, as well. However, always make sure to bring a teacher when buying instruments! You never know when itll save you!
Not great customer service. Definitely recommend Cadenza violins
