"Beginners" Violins at ChrisLilleyViolinsChrislilleyviolins.com

 

I am able to supply a range of Violins, Violas, cello and Basses, From "beginner" level upwards. I must stress that the more money you can spend on an instrument the the better it will be.

All instruments are checked and set up by me personally, this includes bridge fit soundpost adjustment. They are supplied from a well respected UK importer, who themselves have very high standards. My personal recommendations are below but if you require something different be it more or less expensive please contact me and I will do my best to find what you need!
