We visited Cardiff Violins in January 2012 on the recommendation of my son’s violin teacher. Henry spent a couple of hours trying many instruments with your patient and knowledgeable staff. Having narrowed down the selection, we went for lunch and returned to consider the few violins we had chosen. With more patience and a variety of listening opportunities, we took two instruments home to try with his teacher. Since this was Henry’s first full size instrument, we appreciated the guidance and humour of your expert staff. This made our journey worthwhile. Within a month of proudly owning his ‘new’, old violin, Henry used it to gain a music scholarship to the senior school he will start in September 2012. Thank you all at Cardiff Violins!
