The Violin Family ...

Violins, Violas, Cellos, Double Basses

I carry out all repairs to all violin family instruments and bows, as well as other stringed instruments (mandolines, zithers etc). 

Bow Rehair
Bows are re-haired with best white horse hair, with the exception of Double Bass bows where mixed hair can be used if requested.

Strings and other accessories can be ordered through the on-line shop.  I currently have a small selection of ‘new old stock’ (NOS) strings for sale at a large discount. New products will be added over the coming weeks and months.  If you can not find what you are looking for, please get in contact and I will do my best to help.  Even though you may not be looking to use the shop right away, if you would like to create an account for yourself, we can keep you informed of developments and new products by e-mail. 

Some second hand instruments and bows are occasionally for sale.

SWMS has just produced a flier 'Get the best from your instrument' which has some top tips for improving your instrument's playability, and ensuring its care and protection.  While aimed primarily at students, it has information that may be of interest to players of all ages and abilities. Please feel free to circulate to any players and teachers that you know who may be interested, or print it off and hand out to your students.
