Dear fellow musicians, Cardiff Violins have been an immense help to me for the past decade. I popped in originally whilst working on the Cardiff light music singer of the year awards in 2005. I was looking for a good violin to use in my new position of Leader at Guys and Dolls at the Piccadilly Theatre, London. Their Don Tatem immediately stood out as the budget instrument I required and subsequently, I have also purchased one of Don’s 5 string instruments that are so brilliant in the studio. The assistance I have required since with all nature of string ‘things’ has been exemplary. Chris in the workshop is a fountain of knowledge to whom I never tire of listening. The repairs and advice on setups have always served me extremely well. On all the essential sundries of violin playing, you can’t beat Cecile for organisation and friendliness. Unlike most of the violin dealerships in London, you do feel that Cardiff violins are on the side of the player and you’ll always be treated fairly and respectfully.
