5 Star Review

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.

My 11-year-old is just starting cello lessons, and Chris has been great to work with getting him set up with his first cello! We live out-of-town but our instrument was shipped to us no problem. It's a quality instrument and the rental program is very fair with payments going to the eventual purchase of the instrument. Highly recommended!

My daughter's cello instructor recommended that we look into an instrument upgrade and referred us to Chris Johns with Ronald Sachs Violins. Since we live a few states away, selection of the cello took place via phone and email, with Mr. Johns working painstakingly to find the right cello match for my daughter.

The cello was shipped to us, and arrived in secure packaging fit for a Fabergé egg. The quality of the cello construction and sound was well above our expectations, and it even arrived perfectly in tune! We are thrilled with this purchase and won't hesitate to contact Mr. Johns at Ronald Sachs Violins again when it is time for another upgrade.

I had a very positive experience with Chris who operates this store. He was very patient with the process of finding the right instrument for me. I played a lot of violins and he let me bring them to my teachers for their reviews and opinions. He brought down several violins from the store in Lilburn in trying to find the one best suited for me.

Chris was very encouraging in letting me know that it takes time to find that one instrument that you can connect with. We did purchase my violin from the store. I like that I can always upgrade my violin if I need or want to, and that's good to know if and when I want to change violins down the road.

We did travel and try violins in the Atlanta stores, but I found the right instrument for me here in Peachtree City. The price also fit our budget and there was no sales pressure to buy. Chris' philosophy is to take the time you need to find the right instrument for you.

Ronald Sachs is the best place around! The service is friendly, prices are great, and I have never had a problem with anything! It has been about two years, and all the violins are in great shape! Ron has always offered us great prices for the right instrument for my sister. If you are looking for the right instrument, I highly recommend Ronald Sachs Violins! Best Violin Store in town!

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....don't go to anyone else.
