What an amazing experience! My daughter is in her University's Electric Strings Orchestra and the NS Wav instrument on loan does not work for her ergonomically. After reviewing Matt Bell's videos on Violin Center of Mass and Weight at head, it seemed there were better options. I spoke with Susie a the shop who recommended the YEV. After putting my order in, I mistakenly ordered a Viola case for the violin--rather than shipping out the wrong case, Susie gave me a call and suggested an alternate case. When I told her to go ahead and go with the alternate which was $20 more, she told me that they will update the order and will do it for the same price as the case I ordered. What amazing customer service! When my daughter received the order it was well packed and had a personalized note from the shop. Keep up the great work!

All-around great experience. I flew from Seattle to (by appt) visit, with the sole intention of leaving with a new electric fiddle. I tried at least 20. I left with two. Susie and the whole crew were super helpful and I couldn't have asked for anything better. I was even able to get the bridges adjusted before I left!
I'm not saying that this is the start of my collection from Electric Violin Shop, but I'm also not saying it's *not* 🤘🏻😎🎻.

I am very happy with my electric violin. I did a lot of online research before buying and I found this shop’s YouTube.
The violin arrived safely with a perfect condition and ready for playing. Thank you

The people at EVS are helpful and willing to go to any length to make sure you're happy with your setup.
I had bought a violin there but now wanted to upgrade an old solid body with the new bridge and mechanical pegs. It's a challenge for the luthier because the old technology is so different. But he's taken it on . I can't wait to use this old fiddle again!

They deserve all the stars. The Wood Violins Stingray I ordered online just arrived to Hungary with the strings almost perfectly in tune, which is amazing considering the long journey it travelled. They took great care packaging the instrument (with a handwritten note addressed to me personally, which was a lovely addition). They also have tons of really useful educational content on social media. I'm very happy with my purchase and I strongly recommend EVS 😁🤘

Bought a Fortevio 6-string recently from EVS, and I absolutely love it. The folks at the shop are extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and Matt Bell’s YouTube videos are highly recommended.
They also recommended an ME-90 pedal board. I’m a lifelong classic musician, who’s never used amplified instruments before, and to be honest, that device is a bit overwhelming, and complex for me. I’m treating it as a challenge though, so I’m learning, even if I’m a bit slow on the uptake.
The electric violin shop has an incredible range of amazing instruments, and the people are as you nice as you possibly ask for. Highly recommended.

This place is absolutely fantastic! I bought a Yamaha sv-200 from here about 12 years ago, and had an issue after a person accidentally sent my violin flying. There was a crackling sound whenever I would play low, powerful notes. Jamie is extremely knowledgeable about the boards and components within the instruments and was able to fix the violin all during a single visit. To pass the time, Chris and Matt had conversations with me about performance and issues they have faced as instrumentalists. Then, they helped set me up with all the different violins to test out, just to enrich my experience there, while emphasizing to me that I "did not have to purchase anything". I absolutely enjoyed my time, and they made sure that the invitation was always open for me to come back and "play with the toys". :) This is definitely the place to go if you're looking to get set up on an electric violin or if you need repairs. You can trust their expertise and thoroughness when handling their customers.
