Comments: I bought a French violin online from Brian. I was looking to buy either a French violin or German violin but Brian’s selection of lovely French violins convinced me to get a French violin. The violin description on the website is accurate, it has a sweet and mellow sound as described. It is easy to play and has the characteristic French violin sound.
The buying experience is very good. Brian is very patient and prompt in answering my queries, even over the weekend. When I remarked on some patches of varnish blemishes, he volunteered and took extra effort to improve on the varnish.
The violin was securely packed and arrived in 4 days. It comes with a new Despiau bridge, tailpiece, pegs, chinrest and soundpost. The bridge and sound post are intact. These parts are nicely setup and the violin is ready to play out of the box.
The violins in Brian collection have been carefully selected. Like all good things, you need to be quick to get the best deal because I noticed that many good buys were gone. You can have confidence in buying from Brian.

Comments: Delighted with my Mirecourt violin. A personalised, unhurried approach to choosing an instrument - and a good selection within my price range (c£1,500). I have made enquiries of other violin dealers locally - their prices for an 'ordinary' Mirecourt violin start at about £2,000 which I think is excessive. Brian also kindly agreed 14-day return if I found anything amiss. All in all an enjoyable experience and not too painful financially.
