This is a nice kept secret for violins here on Oahu. We are currently renting a violin for my 6yr old daughter. The owner is very knowledgeable about the Violins he has there and has a true passion for music and the instruments. Great customer service as well. I highly recommend this shop.

Mr. Michael Wong was a outstanding professional and very kind man. Gave his honest opinion and not only helped to fix my violin but also gave me some helpful advise as well as connecting me with teachers and resources here on the island. By far the best (and most professional) violin shop in Honolulu!

Other comments have already eloquently described Michael Wongs store. Cremona Violin Hawaii is as much a masterpiece as the violins it sells. I dont exactly know how to demonstrate my opinion of the store in a manner that does it justice, but I have been a musician for a long time and know how rare it is to find a good music store - let alone a superb one. If you come here, you will be treated with much kindness and expertise. Most of all, you can really tell that music comes first :)If you need more convincing, I have one more point. This store specializes in strings (and does a rather fine job) which is unique here in Hawaii. If you had a heart issue you would see a cardiologist. So if you want a great stringed instrument or great string service, you should go to this store.

Michael was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information with us. Shop is well stocked with instruments as well as accessories. Everything from beginners to advanced. We picked up a violin for our son and we’ll be visiting again in the future!

Overall fantastic shop. The owner is extremely nice and energetic.I started going to this shop since August of 2020, where I upgraded my violin and bow there. The owner, Michael, helped me choose a violin and strings that would benefit me learning as a violinist, and ones that will encourage me to practice more and more. The shop is small but it contains everything that you will ever need for string instruments. I strongly encourage you to visit no matter if you’re a beginner, intermediate student, or some high level advanced soloists!

Great service!They have nice instrument. Very happy with our purchase!

This violin shop is one of the best Ive ever been to. The store manager Michael Wong is very nice and helpful. I have visited the shop a few times since it opened and I am always amazed by the quality of their instruments. All the violins and bows that I tried are made with great quality and have good sound. I even tried a couple of their student model violins and the sound they produce is easily comparable to violins worth several thousands of dollars.

Michael is more than just a seller. He is very knowledgeable about instruments especially violin because he is also a player. And he kindly answered every single questions for me who dont know much about violin and yet is curious about everything. You will love the store and Michael after your visit.

I was invited here by my violin professor. There was a soft opening where I was able to play a fine Italian violin worth more than my house in Hawaii as well as instruments starting at $900. While the highlight of my visit should have been playing the old Italian instrument, it was other things that impressed me.After the shop manager, Michael Wong, allowed me to play an instrument I could never afford, I started to play his other instruments. What shocked me was the quality of sound that came from his $900 and $1,200 instruments. I have never played instruments in this range that offered so much for the money. Ive played $3,000 instruments that didnt sound as good as these violins. One of the things I noticed was that even on the $900 instrument, the setup was well done. It was easy to play even on the high notes on the e-string. On instruments at this price point, that rarely the case. For high school players looking for a step up instrument, it is important the set up is maximized for ease of playing. The $5k+ instrument also were excellent buys. Too much detail to go into here on the better instruments, but there was a great array of high school / college /professional level instruments.What also impressed me was the adjustment of my violin. My instrument is an entry level professional instrument. I saw some violin tools out and they offered to do an adjustment on my violin. Ive had my instrument at shops in Honolulu/Chicago/Detroit and the adjustment was never quite right. After I told them what was wrong with my instrument, it took about 45 seconds of what appeared to be tapping on my sound post to bring the instrument back to its full depth and volume. Ive spent hundreds of dollars experimenting with different kind of strings because the last three adjustments at other shops didnt yield the results that Magico was able to do in a few minutes.While walking into violin shops can be intimidating, Michael Wong makes it easy. He is low key, honest, helpful, and an accomplished violinist too. If you are looking for a fraction sized or full sized instrument, Magico will provide you with the best value and quality on island.

My daughter is very excited about her new violin! Thank you Magico!

Literally THE BEST violin store on Oahu

Such a great shop! I loved buying from here. All of the instruments were beautiful. The owner was very insightful. Very satisfied with the instrument I got and the owner was fair. He helped out a lot and I would go back again.
