Message: I just want to say that I am so pleased with my bow. This may be hard to understand, but this bow may be the best teacher I have ever had. If I pay attention, it shows me what it wants to help me produce a quality sound. I was taught to play correctly, but hav gotten lazy over the decades. This bow has brought me back to being a student again. Bazin must have had a good knowledge of what was required of a professional, and how to achieve it. What a wonderful tool!

If you are considering spending money on a fine bow, I encourage you to do it. It will change your musical life. The staff at West Country will help you find what you are looking for in a most pleasant way.

It is hard to know who to trust these days, and all I can say is I trusted them to help me, and they made it easy.

Thanks again! Charles

I just purchased a violin and bow from this company, and honestly was worried about buying on line and from so far away. Well, my concerns disappeared when the violin arrive safe and sound and on schedule. The instrument was 100% as described, and the packaging, well, as the young people say, OMG. The transaction was so well done that I immediately purchased a bow. It arrived, as did the violin. Perfect!
So, if you have even the slightest concern, don't worry. You will be as happy as I am. Take my word for it.

I have purchased a violin and three violin bows from Brian in the last two years. Brian belongs to a rare breed. He is a gentleman and can be taken at his word. Doing business with him is straightforward, open and utterly satisfying. As a violin dealer Brian is an exemplar, and his method of doing business is more than worthy of notice and imitation.

Cautious about buying from a violin dealer? When it comes to buying a violin or a bow from Brian, you can forget the received wisdom in the safe and sure knowledge that his is a special case.

Brian is very patient to help me to choose a violin bow.
He has tried the bows himself and provide his comments for me.
He also very welcomed to exchange another bow as I don't feel the first bow suitable for me.
And finally i got a great bow, Thanks Brian.

I have just bought a Charles Nicolas Bazin bow from West Country Violins. The email discussion with Brian before the purchase was quite lengthy but Brian was patient, helpful and highly professional. I was wary of buying something so expensive without seeing it, but the bow arrived superbly packaged and exactly as described. It's a great bow and I am delighted with it.
I thoroughly recommend West Country Violins.

It's a pleasure working with Brian to select a bow that I really like. Brian helps to shortlist, recommend and try these contestants out for me and tells me his opinion.

Though it didnt work out during my 1st attempt, i managed to find a good french bow that I like. Thanks Brian and Felicty for your prompt reply and shipment. I got my bow by the 4th day after the bow has been shipped out.

Thanks!!

Really enjoyed the process of buying a violin from WCV. Brian and Felicity extremely helpful and patient. Fine selection of instruments, all well described but not easy to pick the one which would be best for me. In the end I arranged a trip to Devon to try some of them. Pleased I did. Played some lovely violins but came away with a pearl.
