What our customers and colleagues say about us
I'm very happy to have as my new supplier of music accessories – Barnesviolins shop! Everything you might need for a string instrument is here. Come and get to know them; they're wonderful people. I recommend them highly.
South Florida string players have been so fortunate to have Barnesviolins here in Boca Raton since 2015. It's always a pleasure to come by and see Tim and Virginia!
When I suddenly needed a fine violin for my appearances in South Florida, Tim and Virginia of Barnesviolins came up big for me! The Barnes violin team is so very helpful and kind. I'm very happy to have new and wonderful "violin friends" in South Florida. Barnesviolins → the go-to string instrument destination of South Florida.
"Thank you so much Tim, for picking out such a marvelous 'spare' viola for me! Your keen judgement of sound quality and playability have given me a viable alternative to having to lug my instrument across the Atlantic in order to play chamber music in Florida. Thank you so much again!"
"I am relieved to know that Barnesviolins.net is open for business. Mr. Tim Barnes and his wife, Virginia have a broad range of experience that is unrivaled – both on stage and behind the scenes. Integrity should be their middle name. In addition, his follow-up and customer service should be the model for anyone running a business in any field."
"Whether you are spending $10 or $10,000, you will always be treated with respect and honesty by Tim Barnes. He is an expert in his field, a knowledgeable guide for buying an instrument and a wizard for necessary repairs. For more than ten years, he has been guiding me and my students in the buying and renting of instruments. It gives me great pleasure to recommend him to you."
"As a string teacher in South Florida, I have known Tim Barnes for many years and feel very comfortable sending my students to him to either rent or buy instruments. He always puts them at ease about the process of choosing, renting and/or buying an instrument particularly violins or violas. He is very knowledgeable and can answer any question that they might have."
"We have been renting a 1/2 size violin for our son from Barnesviolins for the last six months and the support has been phenomenal."
