Brazenose Violins

From our workshop at Stamford Strings

our Story

Our team wanted to use our skills and expertise, honed over many years of craftsmanship, to create a hand made range of violins, violas and cellos for the discerning player looking for a great sound, ultimate playability and practicality.

We believe instruments are beautifully crafted machines that work for us and should be able to provide longevity, stability and predictability. Structurally sound instruments which are expertly set up will deliver these features.

We have great respect for the old Masters and the principles of making developed in the golden age of Cremonese making. But we also believe that a new instrument, constructed with precision and engineered for the rigours of modern playing can offer as much, if not more, for our customers of today.

Everyone is looking for even tone, a well balanced sound, warmth, playability and predictability. We can deliver this without the price tag of an artisan hand made instrument by an individual maker.

We are artisans ourselves, and we also make our own instruments by hand from scratch, but realise this is not something that everyone can afford. Brazenose Violins is a response to a demand in the market for affordable hand made instruments, with the qualities of an artisan instrument but without the price tag. We have been working behind the scenes for two years to make this dream a reality. The dream is realised in a Brazenose Violin. ​
