French Violins

Our violin shop sells fiddles and bows at trade prices and this includes many French and German student instruments in the lower price range. I also specialise in helping our customers to select fine quality instruments from well known French and English and German luthiers from 1800 to 1947. Each instrument is illustrated with eight superb photographs and also has a sound clip in mp3 format. The bows are illustrated with three photos and have full details with regard to weight, age and condition. You can also read about the featured luthier of the month.

All instruments are professionally restored and set up, have good quality strings fitted and are supplied with case. Some examples in the lower price range are also supplied with a bow. Where necessary new pegs and tailpieces are fitted. I use only the very best quality fittings in Indian ebony, rosewood and boxwood. Strings are selected according to the qualities of the individual instrument: we use Pro-Arte, Dominant, Obligato, Evah Pirazzi, Larsen and other good makes.

Our instruments are shipped worldwide via Parcel Force International Scheduled service.We are experts in violin and fiddle packing. Delivery is 24 to 48 hour in the UK, 3-8 working days for the rest of the world. Full insurance cover is included.
