The sound of factory violins can deter students from wanting to play. Rekindle the passion with an affordable, handcrafted instrument and bow direct from the artisan.

I make string instruments, and have this player package for sale.
The violin and bow are both to my own design.
VIOLIN:
Has 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...
BOW: Also to my own design - a geniune J. Dodd bow, just not the London maker! I cut it from a piece of upcycled Rimu, and I used American white oak for the frog with real Mother of Pearl slider. The tip plate is bone.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding the sale. Prices are negotiable, but please be mindful that these are not knocked out in a factory - each is hand crafted by myself.

We'll move at a slower pace, and guide you through detailed instruction on how to move and feel in each pose, helping you find more ease and comfort in your body. We can adapt poses, so that the class is accessible for all bodies wanting to move a little more freely.
This class is also a lovely choice if you are returning to yoga, or simply looking for a slower-paced class.
You are welcome to bring your own mat, or let me know if you would like me to bring one for you. All other equipment is provided. The class is at McGiven Drive, Frankley Park, at 6pm on Tuesdays.
If you're not sure if this class is for you, just get in contact with me, Jo, and I can help you to decide.

For the 11th time, you’ve voted us your Most Trusted Brand and that means the world to us.

Because trust this strong doesn’t happen by chance. One year? That’s nice. Ten years? That’s a perfect score. But eleven? That’s off the charts.
You feel it in the little things, like the barista who knows your coffee order, the gardener who prunes your roses just right, and friends who feel like family.
That’s trust built over time, through shared experiences, thoughtful gestures and communities who care. It’s that feeling of trust that sets us apart.
Whether it’s your first visit or you call a village home, that feeling of trust is what sets us apart.
