Several of my clients have graciously offered to comment on their experiences with my violin shop:
“Robert came highly recommended to me, and one trip to his shop explained why. His expertise, passion for his work, eagerness to share knowledge, and incredible sense of humor are unparalleled in Maine. He sold me my first and second cello, and continues to maintain my instrument and bows.”

“I have been bringing my violins to Robert Miller since I started playing. I purchased my current violin from Robert, and continue to bring it to him (all the way from North Carolina!) when it needs work. Robert puts a lot of time and knowledge into every instrument that comes into his shop; his level of expertise and craftsmanship is outstanding I highly recommend him to any string player; student, amateur, or professional.”

“Robert Miller seems to employ as much care when making repairs to my son’s student violin as he would with a Stradivarius. He is clearly passionate about his craft. His work is entirely reliable and always completed in a very timely fashion. I have complete faith in Bob’s knowledge and experience and trust him in the care of our family’s instruments!”

“Bob Miller has been helping me with my fiddles for several years now. His knowledge and technical skills are amazing, but his true enthusiasm for his work translates into great communication with his customers—he treasures my fiddles as much as I do. My great-great uncle made three of my fiddles, and when I inherited them they needed some serious work. Thanks to Bob, all three instruments have their perfect voices restored.”

“I have been going to Robert Miller Violins for instrument repair and bow re-hairs for many years. He is very personable and knowledgeable about violins and bow making. His work is done with great efficiency and attention to detail. I will continue to send my fiddle students to Robert for exceptional service at a reasonable price.”
