The Violin Company is a small business, providing excellent quality student violins at affordable prices. We are violin players, so understand the necessity of a quality set up - how a good violin should feel to play! The violins we sell are specially selected - they must be nice to play and good value for money, or we just wouldn't sell them! Each and every violin is set up with the utmost care a

nd attention in our workshop, so that they are beautifully playable and produce the best quality of sound. We aim to draw the very best out of every violin and we care about our customers, taking great pride in our personal, dedicated service. Visit our website today or give us a call to chat about getting started on your own violin playing journey. Visits to our premises by appointment only please.

A fantastic Left-Handed Gliga Gama Super is on its way to a new friend in County Antrim today! We've paired it with a Hidersine Premier Carbon Fibre bow. This brings out a fabulous warmth in the lower registers and a clear, crisp top end.

Perfect for rolls and triplets!

We've started the week with a refurb of this rather unusual Left-Hand Gliga Gems 1. It has a gorgeous rich lower register and a bell like E string. This will make a fabulous instrument for an aspiring left-handed player!

Did you know that many of our instruments are available for rental?

Renting can be a great option if you are looking to:
*Split the cost of an instrument over a longer period.
*Try an instrument without the pressure of committing long-term. "Is the violin the right instrument for me?"
*Play a particular size of violin for a short period before moving up to a larger instrument.
*Borrow an instrument for a limited time.

Our instruments are available for between £12.50 and £21.50 per month. All of our rental violins are brand new instruments, so you're guaranteed a quality violin with a professional setup.

If you wish to try an instrument before you buy, we also offer the option to purchase the rental violin within the first 3 months without any extra charges - you just pay the remaining balance to make up the retail price.

And an added bonus - if you've been renting a violin from us for 2 years, the instrument automatically becomes yours!

So, what are you waiting for? Thinking of learning and haven't made the leap? Give us a call now to chat about starting your violin journey!

Another beautiful repair and rehair effort by Sophy this week. Loving the new frog on the third bow from the left 😍

Can you spot the cello bow and the 1/2 size bow in there?

Our rehairs start from £60 for a violin bow, £65 for a viola bow and £70 for a cello bow.
