Duffy Violins is a rare find for rare finds
Duffy Violins has been in The Grove since November 1969 -- 38 years!. They have been in their new location (3333 Rice Street, suite 103) since November 2006. Not only do they sell new and rare old violins and such, they also restore and repair.Above is Barbara Lynn Duffy at her desk researching the availability and location of a very special cello priced around $500,000. Nice Christmas present for someone!

Barbara Duffy and her violin shop are local treasures that many are unaware of.
Good job by the Grapevine for recognizing her.
Welcoming is barely the word to describe Duffy's. We visited the shop for the first time this past Saturday and we were so impressed by the atmosphere. Barbara and Dio made us feel so at home. We were late and they waited for us;they were so patient and we felt so unhurried.
Our 15 year old son remarked that this was the place that we should by his viola because "this lady is my friend". We left the shop better educated about the viola and no pressure to buy. Truly a treasure and rarity, indeed.
This business has a history of nonpayment to clients whom leave their instruments for consignment sales. I have been attempting to collect money due since August 2013.
See BBB, Yelp, and other sites for the deceptive business practices used by this business.
Still have not recovered money owed by this business. Unbelievable. See other consumer related sites in the greater Miami area relative to this shop.
I have known Barbara Duffy since I bought my first viola from Duffy's in the late 1960's. The business has always been honest and I love visiting her when in town. Thank you Barbara.
