Sugarhouse violins has changed the course of my life in lending me their instrument. Beyond the violin I’ve played the last few years, the trust they’ve showed in me has given me the confidence that I can succeed as my career begins to unfold. Jordan and his team are so kind and care so much about their craft.
The shop has taken great care of my violin since I’ve loaned it and I’ve loved learning from their expertise! I’m so grateful for this opportunity. It really means the world!

COMMUNITY IMPACT

Violins SHV.jpeg

A truly genuine violin shop. The luthiers at this shop have helped me in multiple areas of my violin journey, and I've never felt pressured at any point along the way. I've looked at purchasing instruments and bows, had work done on my violins, bow rehairs, and more. They've taken large chunks of their time to just listen and adjust my instruments and help me find the sound that fits me. Thank you all!

“Getting my violin was one of the most special experiences! My violin is seriously a dream come true!From the beginning I loved everything about Sugarhouse Violins. Jordan is so nice, and answers all my questions and helps me know how to take care of my violin. I couldn’t be more grateful for such a lovely violin and such amazing people I get to learn from like Jordan!”

Calli, Violin Recipient

Our public school taught 6th grader broke a violin string a couple hours before planning on playing it at a baptism. Not only did we get the string but they taught my boy how to string a violin and gave him lots of tips. They were very patient and let my boy do the work and correct mistakes along the way.
