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.
The name Brazenose Violins comes from our founding shop, Stamford Strings, which is on St Leonard's Street in Stamford. Just down the road is Brazenose Lane and Brazenose Gate. The University of Stamford was an academic institution founded in 1333 in Stamford, Lincolnshire, by a group of students and tutors from the University of Oxford, including Merton College and Brazenose Hall.
