Austin's Violin Shop

A pleasure to rent from. My daughter has rented since 5th grade through school orchestra program. She is now in college and they accommodate short term rentals while she was back in town. Always kind and professional people here. I would recommend them to anyone looking to rent or purchase.

This is hands down one of the best shops in the Chicagoland area. They have the best selection of instruments for all levels, friendly service, and expert repairs. At Austin’s you will find the staff to be extremely knowledgeable and they are very attentive to what your specific needs are. I have rented violins for my daughter and my self, and they have never disappointed. When I found out my other violin shop closed down I was afraid I wouldn’t find another like it. I’m happy to say that Austin’s has become my go to and my favorite! 👍🏼

I rented from Austin's Violin Shop through my music school, and although I never stepped foot in their physical shop, they were always patient and helpful on the phone when I had questions about anything. You can tell that they geuinely care more about speading the joy of music than anything. Even though their shop is a hike from me, I'll likely be using their services in the future because of how much I like them. Thank you for everything!

We have been using Austin's Violin Shop for our violin rentals and purchases for the last 8 years and have always been so well cared for! The instruments have always been fantastic quality and the service phenomenal! Thank you!

I was in the market for a cello. At first when I seen the ad for Austin Violin shop I was hesitent to go...Well it is 2 hours away from me. Fortune struck and some business came up for me in that area. So I called explained my situation and they were happy and welcoming to my needs. Having less than 3 months experience with a cello, they allowed me time to take it home play it and have my teacher evaluate the sound and quality. Plus they sent a hand full of bows. By this time I had brought a few different model from other shops to my instructor, but when I presented Austins model, and she heard it, she said this is the one you want. The quality is very good and the sound is fantastic. She even went as far as to say, you could use this to play with our community orchestra, it sounds that good. Oh I must say, this is a student model and affordably priced. My first year of owning it is half over, and in another few months I will return to Austin and have it's yearly physical and new strings installed. I am sure she will pass with flying colors and beautiful sounds. Thank you Pat and the rest of the crew at Austins Violin Shop. Using Arnolds famous words " I'll be back "
