Is Sound Important To You?

Of course it is...you're a string player!

Givens Violins is committed to finding excellent sounding instruments in every price range. We know that the dependability of an instrument and the way that it produces sound is extremely important to the player. In order to achieve this we make sure that the instruments we sell are well constructed of seasoned materials and accurately set up. Our attention to detail and the exacting standards of our staff of professionally trained violinmakers and restorers ensures that your purchase or your repair will not disappoint you.

Givens Violins employs professional trained violin makers who have experience in restoration. Our workshop of 5 restorers represents 112 years of experience in the violin business. They understand and use the 400 year-old tradition of violin-making not only in helping our customers maintain the sound of their instruments but also in assisting in the selection and preparation of instruments and bows for sale.

In order to help make the sound of your instrument its consistent best, our workshop uses aged bridges, sound posts, pegs and fingerboards of the highest quality.

The owners of the business, Claire Givens and Andrew Dipper, have combined experience of 65 years in the violin business. They search the world over to find the finest violins, violas, cellos and bows in every price range.

We are all players - talk to us about the sound you want. We look forward to helping you find it.
