Antique Violins, Violas & Cellos

Edward Gaut Violins occasionally has a small selection of carefully chosen antique violins, violas and cellos available. Each instrument is selected for its individual character, history, craftsmanship and musical qualities.

Before sale, every instrument is meticulously checked and any work required to ensure it is structurally sound is completed. Each instrument then receives a final professional setup, including a new bridge, soundpost and strings where appropriate, ready to be played and enjoyed.

A testimonial from Sarah Evans

Took my rather sad and neglected handmade violin to Edward and he took it apart, removed the old glue including the lining, and stuck it all back together again. He added some new better quality pegs and tailpiece, sound post, bridge and filed the nut down as it was very high.

My violin is now a musical instrument again and I am very happy.

Would recommend highly.
