Bio
Paul Scimonelli
I have known and worked with Dalton Potter for nearly thirty years. He is a person of tremendous integrity, knowledge, and heart. Dalton has been superbly providing for the musical needs of the Landon School for over fourteen years, and I recommend him in the heighest degree to all of my students. The robo-like list of attributes on this recommendation form does not do justice to the caliber of the person of Dalton Potter. He provides the highest quality of service to everyone who enters his music store. He goes out of his way, personally, to make sure that his customers are happy with thier purchase. He has donated coutless hours of his time, as well as goods, services, monies,and intruments to the Washington metropolitain music community. He represents all that is good in the retail music industry. I am proud to call him a friend. Dr. Paul Scimonelli Director of Strings Landon School Bethesda, MD

Dalton is friendly, courteous, honest, and professional. It has been my privilege to work for him. His passion for making, restoring and repairing stringed instruments is easy to see in his superior craftsmanship. He takes a personal interest in his customers, and it is easy to see why people drive 10 hours to buy instruments in his shop or trust him with their one-of-a-kind Stradivarius. Whether you are a novice or a world famous musician, I would recommend Dalton for all your string needs.
