Philip Brown Violins

Supplying violins, violas, 'celli, bows and baroque bows to string players from beginners to amateur players, teachers, collectors and professionals since 1985, Philip Brown Violins offer honest, trustworthy expert knowledge and workshop skills.

We carry one of the best stocks of instruments and bows in the UK, representing some of the best of English, French and Italian instruments available.

We sell instruments from £500 to £500,000 and offer a rental service for those not sure whether to buy.

We also always have a good range of bows in stock including 18th century originals.

Bows suitable for those interested in period performance are made in the workshop by Philip and the team.

We are very pleased to be able to offer a fabulous Tubbs bow that belonged to the composer and musician Ronald Binge (1910-1979).

We are running Teacher Workshop Days in 2013 for teachers to join us for a fun day behind the scenes in the workshop and to learn more about the instrument they teach and play. 

The first session will be free, and later sessions will be £20 per person, including lunch and refreshments.
