Since my daughter started playing cello in August, I have been to your fabulous establishment 3 times. My experience each time has been wonderful. Everyone is so helpful starting with Derek as greeter, but today I was extremely impressed and pleased with Matt in the service dept. He took the time to discuss re-hairing our bow and all the details involved. His candid discussion helped me understand the process, the cello, and a bit about Potter’s service department. He took the time to really inform me and did so in a friendly, pleasant way. Matt was great! -Tina R.

Dear Mr. Potter,
I write to tell you what a kind and valuable employee you have in Melanie. She has helped my son and me with his rentals since 2013, and we recently purchased with her and Simon’s skillful guidance. Both Melanie and Simon, and your outstanding location, contributed to a lovely purchase morning – a fun day for both my son and me. Thank you! -Jennette D.
