The Bristol Violin Shop is the most welcoming, friendly and helpful violin shop I have visited. I would strongly recommend anyone who has any thoughts in finding a new instrument or looking for a new sound with an existing instrument, to visit the Bristol Violin Shop - you won't be disappointed, but you will have your eyes and ears opened to the possibilities they can offer!
