Review & Rating
have bought and sold and worked with Reuning for repairs. all good experiences.
I have gotten all of my instrument since I was a child from Reunings (I am now a professional violist). I cannot speak highly enough about this wonderful shop. The quality of their instruments and workmanship is well known throughout the world. Whenever I have visited the shop (either as a child, a conservatory student, or a professional), I have always been treated with care and respect. I have visited many other shops throughout the world who have, unfortunately, treated me disrespectfully or completely disregarded me. This has never happened at Reunings, nor could I ever imagine it happening. If you need a high-end instrument, Reunings is the place to go!
Chris Reuning is a pompous ass with no people skills. Totally agree with the previous reviewer-- Reuning comes across as a small time crook. He is the epitome of a scumbag violin dealer.
Chris and his company have always been straightforward and a delight to work with.
One of very few violin dealers I completely trust - my students have been getting instruments and bows from his shop for twenty years, and I've never had any issues. Highly recommended!
Chris and his staff, some of whom have been with the shop for many years, have always been welcoming, friendly, and kind. Special thanks to Peter Jarvis! The shop feels posh, but never snobby. I have worked with them both for violin and bow repair/maintenance and have found the worksmanship and interpersonal relationships to be high quality and professional.
Employees have always been polite and helpful when I have called and inquired about items. Very happy and pleased with their willingness to take the time in answering my questions. Thank you!
Reuning and Son is one of the finest violin shops in the world. They exhibit the greatest amount of skill and respect for stringed instruments and bows as well as the customers which they serve. Their dedication and generosity to the craft are unmatched.
I have known Christopher Reuning and this shop professionally for over 20 years. He and every one of his staff is professional in every sense of the word, and has the respect of not only players from across the globe, but makers and restorers as well. I would, and do, recommend this shop enthusiastically and without reservation.
Best service and professional knowledge. Gracious help from Peter Jarvis setting up my Italian violin. The one place in Boston where I would go for advice, repairs, and a violin evaluation. Many thanks!
