Instrument/accessory requirements and prices

I stock a beginner's basic violin kit (violin, bow and case) which costs £125.  It is available in quarter, half, three-quarter or full size.

I also stock strings, mutes, rosin, tuners, special chin rests and shoulder rests.  Prices are based on a catalogue price.

To get you started:

Loan violin £5 per week (£50 refundable deposit required)

Hire/buy starter's violin - £50 for a 5 week trial period - after 6 weeks either give the violin back, or purchase it with a balance of £75. ((Deposit of £50 required).  Hire/buy is also available on more expensive violins.

Beginners kit (recommended) – violin, bow, case, shoulder rest, upgraded chin rest, rosin,  and electronic tuner  £195.

It is useful to have a recording device to record the tunes we are learning –  a digital recorder is ideal.

Strings vary tremendously in type and price.  You will need to replace an individual string if it breaks which will cost between £4.00 and £20, and after a good deal of playing the strings will be past their best and you should replace the whole set.  For example, a new set of Spirocore strings costs around £35.
