We sell a wide range of Violins, Violas, Cellos and Double Basses. We also offer a valuation service, and buy instruments for restoration.

We stock violin, viola, cello and double bass bows, all sizes, from £35 to £9,000.

A musical instrument, like any sophisticated machine, needs attention from time to time to make sure that it is in the best working order.

Are you thinking of taking up an instrument? Have you thought about hiring first? Hiring is a great “hassle free” option and our scheme has been especially designed for beginners.

The Bristol Violin Shop was established in 1986 by Neil Hansford and Nicholas Woodward.
