The occasion of buying your first instrument should be a rewarding one. It’s the beginning of a partnership that will be with you for many years. That’s why we offer advice, support and ongoing assistance as your ability and technique develop – wherever your journey takes you.

Being a string player in the early stages of development is a crucial time. Many of the critical and creative inter-reactions between player and instrument should be established here, as this contributes greatly to the good foundations of a player’s technique. If you buy an instrument from us, you will find that the success of the early stages will be directly related to the care and skill with which the instrument has been prepared in our workshops.

The resonance of any instrument is both aural and tactile, and a player’s sense for the core of a note is of utmost importance. It enables the beginner to play in tune (intonation) and can make the difference between enjoying the activity or losing interest. That’s why we take great care in attending to this particular aspect when setting up each instrument, and our free check-up 2-3 months after purchase ensures that the player continues to experience a growing satisfaction.

We also understand that our customers have a budget. Wherever possible we will assist you in buying a good instrument at an affordable price. Even our modestly priced instruments are extremely effective in tone production.
