impressed with how personally involved Claire Givens herself was involved in our selection process.
The personal touch made a huge difference! All in all, a great experience and I really feel that this has become
our 'string home.' My daughter has a beautiful Italian
cello to take her through college, grad school, and into her professional life!"

"We've had an absolutely wonderful experience with Claire Givens Violins! I purchased
a cello for my 5-year-old two years ago, and working with them has been a pleasure ever since. The staff is
knowledgeable, kind, and always ready to help. Their commitment to quality and service
has made our musical journey so much smoother. Highly recommend."
