Stamford Strings

Stamford Strings is passionate about new making and showcases instruments from new makers, alongside antique violins, many of which are restored in-house. We restore, repair and conserve instruments and provide an appraisal and insurance certificate service. Bow repairs and rehairs are a speciality, and we have a dedicated skilled specialist for this work. 

Stamford Strings caters for all players, age ranges and abilities, from student to professional. Our shop is only 1.5 hours from Birmingham by direct train or road, one hour from Nottingham and Lincoln, 45 minutes from Leicester and 50 minutes from Cambridge. London is 45 minutes by train from nearby Peterborough too. Many prominent schools such as Oakham, Oundle and Uppingham are within half an hour’s drive, making it the ideal location for professionals, students and amateurs alike. 

Stamford Strings also has a great range of instrumental bows, cases and accessories. We specialise in BAM cases and cello accessories, with some of our accessories designed and made by us or directly for us.
