Laura began working at the shop full-time at the age of 17 handling sales, rentals, inventory and everything in between. Over the years, Laura has become an expert in her own right on instruments and accessories, offering her expertise in the warm and friendly manner that has made her a valued and beloved fixture at Benning Violins with generations of old and new clients. “What a joy it is to have grown up here, and to have watched the children just starting their musical venture, now as adults with their own children playing”.
Laura and her husband Chuck have four beautiful daughters, Ashley, Nicole, Danielle and Paige, who have had the privilege of being raised “at the shop”.
“One of the wonderful aspects of a family run business is the ability to include your children and hopefully entice them into continuing the legacy,” says Laura. “I certainly benefitted from that tradition and have enjoyed sharing the experience with my own daughters”.
Although Laura is not a professional musician, she does enjoy singing in her church choir as well as playing cello as a hobby.
If you have any questions regarding instruments, accessories or rentals, or setting up an appointment for appraisals or adjustments, please contact Laura and she will be happy to assist you.
