ViolasFor the advanced student and good amateur players, I offer a varying stock of old and modern hand-made instruments. These are suitable for grade 8 and above. All my violas pass through my workshop to be fully restored as necessary and meticulously set up to optimize their individual playing characteristics. Prices start at £600, and rise according to make and quality.

In addition to my own instruments, I am also able to sell others on commission - please call for details
