We are pleased to announce that in March 2012 we will have our second exhibition from the violin makers consortium "Antonio Stradivari". This years exhibition was a great success with many instruments sold and of course whom could forget the opening night with Proseco and Italian nibbles. So if you are keen on new makers then come along in March.

As anyone reading my website will know, I just love new instruments!

Of course fine antique instruments are what I sell 90% of the time , But I still get excited at a new violin, viola or bow just made. Well it was a bit of a surprise when the other day I started counting the new violins in my shop and came to the number.....22!!! These are violins by the worlds best makers including , Gregg Alf, Melvin Goldsmith, Roger Hargrave,Roberto Regazzi,Tetsuo Matsuda, Philippe Giradin etc etc.....so now I had better sell some!

No need for a player to order from these makers ;-) just come and try one of mine!

See you soon. Sean B.
