Comments: If you know what you want and can describe it West country violins will do their utmost to select a violin to meet your specifications. I asked many questions and always had very good, prompt responses. I ordered a violin after satisfying myself that I could'nt have asked many more questions and we are delighted with it. We have had it checked over by a violin maker and some fine players and the comments have all been very positive. I would recommend checking out their website and contacting Brian and Felicity.

Comments: It has been a pleasure dealing with Brian and Felicity. Very honest and friendly people who will truly help you anyway they can. Purchased a Striebig violin that showed up in Canada in perfect condition and plays exactly as Brian said. Thanks for everything. Hope to deal in the future.

Comments: It was a enjoyable and learning experience for me to purchase the old French-made violin from Brian. I am a scientist and a Hi-Fi lover, but, unfortunately, had never touch a violin (I even don't know that a violin bow is adjustable!). Recently, I decided to move from "enjoying music" to "creating music", probably together with my kids. I then tried to look for an affordable old violin as I thought that an old violin would like a pair of run-in speakers that gave better sound than brand new did. I happened to find this internet violin shop--West Country Violins and Brian. I selected a violin that was at good condition with decent tone. However,the sound clip of the violin gave a little bit over-resonance at middel to low-frequency, which was probably resulted from recording defect. Brian helped me double/triple check the violin and make me sure that there was no problem with the violin. I then asked him to chose me a bow and he offerred me one at discount price. It took only 3 days for delivery of the violin set from UK to Singapore safely. Now I can say that the unnormal resonance in sound clip did come from defects in recording. Both the violin and the bow are perfect, to my view! Many thanks to Brian! Zhongchao Yin.

Comments: Thank you so much for sending my violin and bow so promptly! I am absolutely delighted with the violin and bow, the violin is beautiful and I am hugely impressed with the sound and set up, which was even better than I imagined. The resonance and clarity of sound makes my 'new' violin a true joy to play. It has been a real pleasure to deal with such friendly, helpful people who are so responsive. As with anyone who may consider ordering an instrument online without seeing, holding, or playing it first, I can thoroughly recommend West Country Violins, and would not hesitate returning to Brian and Felicity in the future. The violin and bow arrived safely, very well wrapped, and with very little tuning was ready to play. I have nothing but the highest praise for Felicity and Brian - all in all, I am thrilled to pieces and can't thank you enough!

Comments: The violin I purchased was exactly how it was described on the site, and the tone was everything I could have hoped from hearing the audio track. Brian operates an incredibly efficient business and I would not hesitate returning to his site if I ever decide to upgrade.

Comments: Hello, Brian! My new violin stays fine here. It is a real antique and a little plain on the surface, but sounds nice with aged wood! It is so easy to play and makes me feel as if I am a decent player! Thank you again, and I will keep checking your enjoyable site.

Comments: I just bought my first violin from West Country Violins and my teacher played it for me as I am a complete beginner. The violin, a J.T.L. sounds better than on the sound clip! My teacher also said it is easy to play and has a great projection of sound, I am totally chuffed!

Comments: I searched many hours for the violin bow that begged me to buy it. I found it at West Country Violins. After ordering, I became concerned about it being delived to my very rural, hard to find address. When I emailed West Country Violins with my concern, they were so prompt with a response to me, which really put me at ease, since I had never ordered anything from overseas before. They continued to communicate with me until my bow arrived, which was only a very short time. Thank you so much. The bow is incredibly. Every bit the excellent quality that it was described to be. Thank you. Rhonda
