Our son Roc liked Edward’s viola from the very instant he played the first note. He was very captivated by its sonority and profound sound.
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.
