| - Now that I use Yelp, I thought I'd leave a review to recount an unforgettable experience I had at The Sound Post.
I came here to set a sound post that had fallen out of my violin after I took it with me overseas. The place is nice and quaint. I went upstairs to see their luthier, and the guy was like sour milk personified. He spent more time complaining about how my violin was a crappy Czech knock-off than properly setting the sound post for me. The thing is, I had asked for a repair, not an appraisal. I paid $15 here to get it set, and after he set the sound post, the violin lost the rich-sounding bass that it had before. Maybe the luthier was miserable because he sucks at his job? I mean, that would make anyone miserable, right?
Yeah. I was disappointed to say the least. So I had to go to another violin shop a little further east that set the sound post for free AND they did an incredible job. My "crappy Czech knock-off" sounds wonderful again. I go to that shop now, but I'll always remember my first time at The Sound Post, where they ironically couldn't properly set one!
My ordinary violin sensibilities and I won't be back. The luthier here does like giving unsolicited appraisals, though. LOL!
