contemporary VIOLIN MAKERS
We specialise in showcasing the work of new violin makers, especially British and European up and coming violin makers. We carefully source instruments for playability and sound. We are very exacting on bridge, sound post and string set ups and everything we sell goes through our workshop for a thorough check up. With the help of local professional players we test out our set ups and experiment with string choices until we have found the best sound.
