Thank you, Southwest Strings! I ordered a customized viola and several books in mid-March, after Southwest Strings closed their doors to the public due to COVID. Despite the closure, my viola arrived in just 3 business days. It arrived neatly and thoughtfully packaged even quicker than the original estimate. My order was 100% accurate. I am beyond pleased with the quality and service and will be a return customer in the future!

I’m only a beginner so I cannot speak technically. However it motivates me.
