Knowing which violin to buy, and how much to spend can be difficult, especially if you are buying one for the first time, or need to know which size to buy for your children. My service to you is to talk through the decisions you need to make, and make you aware of the additional items you may not have thought about, making sure that what you get, is what you need.

I supply a range of Violins, Violas, cello and Basses, From beginner level upwards.

All instruments are checked and set up by me personally, this includes bridge fit and height, action at the nut, soundpost adjustment and pegs. My personal recommendations are below but if you require something different, be it more or less expensive please contact me and I will find what you need.

I can also customize instruments with different tail pieces, chin rests and strings, and supply a full range of shoulder rests and accessories.
