Client’s Testimonials

Olaf is very knowledgeable and he was so helpful with our son purchasing his new violin. Olaf set the violin in such a way that it projects so nice! Its a 3/4 violin and sounds like full size! Oscar won 1st place in AUSTA (intermediate), got high distinction in his AMEB 4 test and was successful in securing a place in a prestigious high school that has a strong focus on music. I definitely will follow up on my next purchase with Olaf. I have learn so much with his youtube videos, highly recommended!. Thanks! Rodney & Oscar

After hearing numerous very positive reports about Olaf Grawert’s Violin Studio our family travelled from Townsville to Brisbane for a combination holiday & violin purchase. Choosing and playing violins from Olaf’s excellent range was a great experience for our daughter and his intimate knowledge and experience of all the instruments he sells is second to none. The violin is playing just as beautifully as the day we purchased it and with that and Olaf’s excellent service in mind I’d highly recommend The Violin Studio.” Cam

‘I have seen Olaf for many years, and every time, I have left his studio smiling. Olaf has an extensive range of string instruments and products, and it is more than likely that there will be one perfect for you. I bought my first instrument from him in 2012, and it has never failed me. I highly recommend Olaf’s violin studio as the go-to place if you are considering buying a new instrument or getting a service. He is very precise with his work, and he ensures that his jobs are done to the customer’s satisfaction. Thank you Olaf.” JH
