instruments & craftsmanship

Finally, I found my first truly EPIC violin at LVL Music Shop, and it is nothing short of extraordinary. This remarkable instrument from Leo Aschauer’s workshop, circa 1950, carries a beautiful German character in both craftsmanship and sound. From the first moment I played it, I could feel that this was more than just an instrument with a label. It has soul, depth, and a voice of its own. What impressed me even more was this gentleman, Alan’s exceptional workmanship and dedication. With his rich hands-on experience and deep understanding of violin setup, he was able to tailor and refine the instrument to match my preferred sound projection and tonal requirements. That level of care and craftsmanship is rare. The fine tonewoods used in this masterpiece produce a gorgeous, rich, and mature sound. It is warm, expressive, and full of character. To me, the value of this violin goes far beyond its name or origin. It is about how it feels, how it responds, and how it inspires me to play. What an amazing experience at LVL Music Shop! Absolutely in love with my new violin, and now the search begins for the perfect bow to complete the pair. 🎻

Bought my first ever handmade violin at LVL Music Academy which is really pretty and it sounds great. During my visit, I was attended by Gavin which is a very friendly guy and are knowledgeable on the instruments. The whole event feels very comfortable and not rushing just to get you to buy the instrument. Im also getting a chance to try other high quality violins even and they all sounds amazing in its unique way. Overall is an amazing experience and hope i had the chance to revisit and upgrade my violin in the future.

Found LVL Music Academy while in the area after seeing all the great reviews, so I brought my old violin for repair. Luthier Mr. Alan was really incredibly patient, attentive, and kind. He explained everything clearly The repair was done beautifully; my violin looks and sounds amazing again after years of neglect. He even took the time to teach me how to tune my violin, which I truly appreciated! Staff, Cong also attended to me during collection and was very helpful, patiently answering all my questions. Overall, a really pleasant and satisfying experience. I truly appreciate their care and passion. Highly recommend! Thank you! 😁🎻✨

Found this music academy to change my violin’s string through google map and was surprised by their wonderful service. I was patiently recommended the types of string suitable for my violin and they even go beyond changing the string by servicing my violin’s peg. Not only do the place provides instrument repair and services, they also have violin and piano classes. Highly recommended!

This is our child’s first violin, and the staff were extremely kind, patient, and professional. They carefully helped us choose the right size and took the time to explain everything clearly. The whole experience was very reassuring, and our child loves the violin. Highly recommended for parents buying their child’s first instrument.
