Bristol Violin Shop is a real gem. Whether shopping for strings, or discussing a major restoration, the staff will always give their time with patience, skill and understanding. They offer informed and completely honest advice. I would heartily recommend them to players of all ages and abilities, they are a rarity indeed!
