During the summer of 2011, I made several visits to Cardiff violins in order to replace items that had been stolen. Each time I was given excellent personal attention and as much time as I wanted to try instruments and bows. The viola I eventually purchased was expertly set up to my specifications and the choice of bows was extensive: something for all budgets.
I cannot fault the care, help, and enthusiasm (especially with the merits of cases!) given to me by both Chris and Cecile and would recommend Cardiff Violins to all string players.
