PLEASE NOTE I no longer carry new instruments in stock but obtain them to order.
I can supply new Chinese outfits for beginners. Currently these are from the Primavera ranges, but this may change from time to
time as my suppliers are constantly updating specifications.
The Primavera Rainbow coloured violins are available in sizes from 4/4 to 1/4, in blue, green, purple and pink.
They are supplied with matching cases and coloured bow.
The Primavera 90 starter outfits are available in 4/4, 3/4, 1/2 and 1/4 sizes, and come with a
basic lightweight case and wooden bow.
All starter instruments are fully set up with Prelude or Dogal Green strings, and prices start at
£112.00 for Primavera 90 and £136.00 for Primavera Rainbow instruments. Please note that thes
prices are subject to change without notice as my suppliers raise or lower their prices
Violas, 'cellos and basses can be supplied from the Primavera ranges. Please call for prices. I do not normally have these in stock.
For those requiring a better instrument, I have the Primavera Loreato and Westbury outfits. These are better sounding and better finished violins. The Loreato is set up with Prelude strings and supplied with an octagonal wooden bow and a oblong lightweight case. Price £255.00. The Westbury can be supplied with Prelude or Pro-Arte strings and comes with an octagonal bow and shaped hard case. Price is £320.00 - £340.00 depending on strings.
Because of a demand for unusually coloured violins I occasionally produce the 'ROMANY' outfit. The violins are sourced from China, and are hand-finished in the U.K. Ordinary violin varnish is used, so the wood is clearly visible. Colours are available to order, and I sometimes have instruments in stock. Standard fittings are ebony with a Wittner lightweight tailpiece and Prelude strings. Other fittings and strings are available to order, though this may increase the price. Standard price is £450.00 for violin only and £550.00 with bow and case. To view a typical instrument Click here
