Most of the instruments in
the photograph above are older, restored instruments, English,
German, French and Italian, mainly from the nineteenth century,
but some older. We have sold instruments dating from
the period when Shakespeare was writing his best work. The
price here ranges enormously, from a few hundred upwards and
the stock is constantly changing, but may be easily ascertained
by 'phone. Customers are welcome to bring in instruments for
possible part-exchange, even if the instrument has not been bought
from us. We normally allow people to
take instruments and bows on approval, to try at home or to show
the teacher, before making a final decision. We can
not, however, send instruments to people unknown to us, unless
payment is made in advance. This will, of course be
refunded if the instrument is found not to be suitable. |

| We sell both
new and restored instruments at prices to hopefully suit everyone. We
start with new instruments from China and Eastern Europe in sizes
to suit all ages, carefully set up to encourage the beginner.
These may be part-exchanged against the next size as the child
grows. They come in a variety of price ranges, but start at just
under £70 for violin, bow and case. We give
a special bulk discount for schools and education authorities
for these instruments. - - |

| We stock a comprehensive
selection of strings and accessories for all the violin family
instruments. You are welcome to use our postal service
for these. We would advise you to phone rather than
email us if these are needed very urgently, in order to check
on stock availability. Anything not in stock can normally
be obtained within a few days. - - |
