HANDCRAFTED VIOLINS

Joel from Brooklands - Vogeltown

Are you or your child coping with a factory instrument with factory tone? Help is here!
I make string instruments, and have some instruments for sale.
They are all to my own design, with deep arching for a mellow tone.
Maple backs, sides and neck, with spruce face. Fingerboards, tailpieces and chins for each instrument are cut from the same pieces of Rimu.
Strings are always Pirastro Tonica (is easier for me to compare tone between instruments).
Note that each instrument has a unique purfling design, and the back of each scroll is carved with a Kowhai motif.
Varnish is traditional shellac and rosin combination.
The construction history and details of each instrument can be found on my website
"violinsbyjoel.blogspot.com...
I have a case available, price neg.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding any of them. Prices are negotiable, but please be mindful that these are not knocked out in a factory - each is hand crafted by myself. They are not Strads, they are Dodds!
