Turner Violins

Brilliant shop with excellent staff. Would recommend to anyone thinking of getting a new one or in need of help visit here.

Took a 1/2 size 1970's Suzuki violin here, which I bought second hand elsewhere, for the experts to set up for my 10 year old daughter to learn on. A splendid professional job done for a fair price. The bridge is now properly set up etc. My daughter loves the violin. It plays very well now. She is preparing to be examined for her Grade 1. As she progresses through her grades, I will return to Turner's to buy an even better violin directly from them. A very polite, friendly and professional service.

I visited the store 2 days ago and they were amazing. Very friendly. They have everything you need. I wanted to buy a bow for my violin I didn't brought my violin with me, they gave me a good one to test several bows and provide privacy so I can choose the right bow comfortably. And I did. I asked them if they ship anything internationally, they said with pleasure. I think I'll be their customer for ever.Thank you.

Top quality Luthiers with vast experience and knowledge. Lovely premises with space to try out instruments in private.Excellent service including restoration, repairs, bow re-hair and valuations.A gem of a place, highly recommend.

Knowledgeable, experienced, and helpful team with excellent customer service

Excellent service and professional friendly service. I am a novice to the violin but the service I received was very helpful and supportive. They have managed to get me set up with a tutor in 3 day's. Thanks.

I'm a beginner cellist and took my 2nd hand cello to be restrung. The staff were really helpful and friendly, explained everything clearly and took the time to restring and make a few repairs to my (rather stubborn) cello. They also advised me on bows, loaned me a nice one, and gave me a tutor's info to get me started. Fantastic experience and fairly priced considering their skill and knowledge. Highly recommend and I will definitely visit again. I'd best get practicing!

Thank you very much indeed to Toby and his colleague for their help choosing an adult learner violin. They both shared their vast knowledge and sound advice very generously and it was a true joy to try out an impresive range of instruments. Their patience with a beginner made it a very enjoyable experience and I felt equipped to make a good choice thanks to the time and lovely setting offered by Turner Violins. Thanks again and best wishes to everyone in the shop.

An excellent shop and service. Toby gave great professional advice with the repair of my son's cello. Thanks again and I'd highly recommend.

A few weeks ago I took 2 bows to be rehaired and asked Turners to have a look at my violin to see if anything needed doing whilst I was there. The list was a bit longer than I expected. They were happy to loan me an instrument whilst the work was being done. Having picked my violin and bows back up today, I can say it was well worth the money. After a new fingerboard, pegs, soundpost...the lot... It sounds like a different violin. The tonal qualities I love about my instrument are there but it is so much more responsive, resonant and overall professional sounding.I've also sent pupils here for beginner instruments fairly recently, and they were very happy with the service.Highly recommended for players of any standard.
