Chris Lilley has been making Violins for 10 years, (and playing them for 14) having had an informal apprenticeship, from his good friend Bernard Wawman Chris moved to Rural Ireland, spending a lot of time honing his skills and refining his techniques, to give what he believes is a very individual and distinctive range of Violins, each having been fully hand crafted using traditional techniques and varnishes. Chris Lilley Guarantees his instruments for life against manufacturing defects, and is always happy to offer impartial advice on any instrument brought before him. As a musician himself Chris prides himself on only playing his own instruments. Pricing for Violins starts at £3000 for an instrument with plain back and sides, additional features such as double purfling would cost an extra £1000. Chris is more than happy to discuss various cosmetic details, and factors affecting playability, eg the exact shape of the neck etc, but will not alter the fundamental design of the instrument or "copy" another instrument.
