Our instruments

If you have something special in mind, we can arrange for you to try someone else’s violin, viola or 'cello as a first stage in commissioning an instrument.

Players often visit the workshop to play and to discuss their ideal sound and ‘feel’ before work is begun and this is a crucial stage in achieving the perfect instrument.
