Stamell Stringed Instruments, Poughkeepsie NY

Troy's work is amazing! He fixed a hole in my cello, and pieced together the veneer perfectly- Appreciated both Stephan and Troy updating me as the process unfolded. Highly recommend!

We went to Stamell to shop for violins for my children. Stephen was so patient and courteous. He measured my children and let them try out different sizes of violin. He answered my questions patiently and even played different violins to show the differences for my children. Because we had such a pleasant experience with Stephen, I decided to go back for my violin needs even though they are much further than other places.

I brought in my double bass for repairs, and I couldn't be any happier. Everyone was very courteous. They worked with me to stay inside my budget. Then went above and beyond. It sounds and plays better than it ever has. What's most impressive is the attention to detail on top of the already great craftsmanship. They really made sure every last detail was covered. I took it home and practiced for hours. And as I played, I got more and more blown away by what a great job they did. I will definitely be trusting them in the future for my instrument inspections and repairs.

Quality service from exceptionally personable staff. The intimate atmosphere of this small shop is quite comfortable.

I’ve been playing cello for 7 months and desperately needed new strings but didn’t know how to put them on, the guys in the shop were absolutely incredible! They chatted with me about the different types of strings and put on the new set. Additionally, they looked at my cello for me to make sure that it was set up
properly and even played it for me so I could hear what it sounded like with a more advanced player. Overall, it was an amazing experience and extremely informative! I highly recommend them!

Troy and Stephen were very friendly and fixed a crack in my violin for a very reasonable price. It looks great now, very happy with it. Thanks.
