Aeolian Strings Ltd, H. Ross Hill

I brought in a Codabow Diamond to be re-haired for use on an electric Cello. I got my bow back tailored for that purpose, performing much better than it ever did. They also have good inventory and some great rosin I have not found elsewhere in the city.Ross and his crew are very knowledgeable and skilled, definitely will be getting my business again in the future.

Wonderful service! Small local family run music store for string instruments. Been their client for close to ten years and highly recommend for children or adult music players.

Ross is the best in Calgary. I wouldn't trust my instrument anywhere else.

Ross is a luthier who knows the tradition and secret of the European luthiers. If you have a fine instrument, Ross is the person you must trust. He took the time to do a fantastic job. I am very grateful. Victor Sanchez

Ross really knows bows and instruments. He did some basic work on my student cello and instead of trying to put perfume on the pig, suggested I needed a new instrument (no surprise to me). He didn't even charge me for the work he did and is helping me move up to a better cello. He assessed my bow and haired it for a reasonable cost. He is a perfectionist and I like that in a luthier.

Terrific service very knowledgeable guy Ross Hill... extremely nice new location on Center Street South ..... dont go anywhere else....lots of inventory....all the accessories really the number one Shop in Calgary now for sure ! Thank you and congratulations Makita and Mrs Hill !

Ross and his family have always been very helpful with our daughters and what was needed for their instruments. They go out of their way to make sure violins are ready to go before events like Christmas or birthdays and the quality of the instruments they sell is excellent. Their daughter even helped us chose a bow when moving up in size! I'm so pleased that there is a quality establishment such as theirs in Calgary.

Ross Hill and his family run a great store. Was in town to play a concert and they helped me last minute with an instrument emergency. Saved the day! Great products on hand as well. Thank you!

Dropped my violin off for varnish touch up earlier this year. Took many emails and phone calls to have the violin turned around. In the end it took 3 months. The quoted price was also much lower than cost of servicing -- which is OK if this would have been communicated. Now, a few months later the varnish is compromised. Have had to return violin but no idea how long it will take. Update: violin was returned after almost a year without my instrument. Quality of workmanship was VERY high. But customer service is MUCH to be desired of...

I'm in my 20's and just starting the violin. I have a music background (I played piano for 10 years) but knew nothing about violins so it was a little intimidating walking into the shop. I told the staff what I was looking for (a rental) and using their expertise they chose the best violin for me. The young woman took the time to explain the rental process and violin care, and answered all of my questions. I walked out happy with my first violin, which based on some quick research is of much higher quality than typical student violin rentals from other places I looked at. The location is convenient and close to where we live. The shop is small, but has such an amazing selection of violins and other string instruments, accessories and books... I love the feeling of walking into an intimate workshop. I'll be back, and would love to check out the selection of violins once I am more experienced!
