I am very pleased with my puchase. The instrument was just as described, and as splendid as the sound byte was, the instrument was far more impressive in person.

This is my second testimonial! The very first instrument I purchased from Brian was also the first one I tried – a German “Carlo Storioni” violin, which bowled me over. Following on my first purchase, I recently spotted on Brian’s website, which I regularly and eagerly peruse, another late 19th century German violin, which seemed to offer similar tonal merits to the Carlo Storioni. Sure enough, when I tried it out at Brian’s home (the journey is recommended), it turned out to possess a lovely mature, clear tone. I purchased it on the spot. Similar rewarding experiences await those privileged to try out the instruments Brian so carefully selects.

The violin was exactly as described and sounded better than I expected for such an inexpensive price. I am very satisfied and will most certainly do business with Brian again very soon. Brian is great !!

The violin I purchased from Mr. Ward-Smith is in excellent condition and plays beautifully. The photographs of the instruments tend to show every flaw, but the instruments themselves look much better. I received the instrument in three business days. Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase, considering it was over the internet and in different counry. I will not hesitate to make any future violin purchases with Mr. Ward-Smith.

Purchased my very first violin through Brian and West Country Violin. I had LOTS of questions and I was SO pleased with the patient and helpful direction I received. Just started lessons, and my instructor and the local luthier are both very impressed with my instrument and it's price. A delightful experience - I'll be back.

This is the second violin I have owned and I was initally hesitant to purchase a violin over the internet until I found Brian's site. He has done a fantastic job. I could tell that he really cares and enjoys what he does. The sound clips and pictures provide a great way to compare violins and help you decide the right one for you. Brian was very quick and friendly answering any questions and my violin arrived in three days after I purchased it. It was carefully packaged and was exactly what I was looking for. I would recommend this site without hesitation to anyone of any skill level. Thank you Brian! George

Dear Brian: Thank you for such prompt service and for making available a quality violin we would have never found otherwise. The sound clips are excellent and well done and the photos are accurate and show more flaws than we actually can see looking at the violin, the color representation is accurate also. We appreciate your willingness to answer questions and payment was easy and quick. Thank you very much for a great sounding violin, with minimal fuss. Good violins can definitely be purchased over the internet, when the salesman is such an experienced restorer.

West Country Violins is a great solution to all those seeking quality violins at an affordable price. Mr Brian Ward-Smith is friendly as is trustworthy and you can be assured that the violins displayed online, are what you will be receiving, if not better than described. After having made a recent purchase myself, I'm convinced that no other seller comes close to what Brian has to offer online. It gives me great pleasure to recommend Brian to those who are in need of a quality violin.

I was very pleased with the violin purchased from West Country Violins as well as the quick receipt of the instrument- 3 days! The purchase price was very reasonable and the set-up was quite good! I highly reccomend this firm for quality, price and most of all integrity in representing the instrument. Tony Ellis

Brian, thanks for a very nice-sounding old fiddle at a most reasonable price. I had been looking for something inexpensive to take to sessions, playing out and the like, but was quite unwilling to compromise on tone quality. Your sound clips and descriptions were very helpful in evaluating the sound of this fiddle. Indeed it sounds fuller, smoother and more mellow than I had expected. The fiddle was nicely set up and ready to play, very much as described, together with a serviceable bow and case, and was delivered in 3 days. I couldn't have asked for better value and service. If I get over to the UK one of these years, I will make it a point to come visit your shop! Best regards.
