The String Zone instrument approval scheme

Try up to four instruments at home before you buy!

Finding a good violin at a sensible budget is difficult at the best of times. Buying blind online is not a good idea and getting to a reputable shop with the necessary expertise can be a problem. Our scheme offers the convenience of online shopping with the expertise and choice available from a specialist violin shop.

Each instrument is individually prepared in our workshops and guaranteed immediately playable. Please see the web listing for a detailed description of each instrument.

We believe trying a number of instruments in your own home makes choosing an appropriate violin much easier than the sometimes pressurised and slightly intimidating environment of a shop.

How it works:

The scheme is available by telephone only.
Please call us on 01784 470 930 for further information or to book your trial.
