Violin Shop
Musical Instruments in Blackpool, Lancashire
Located in the heart of the busy seaside town of Blackpool, just a stone's throw from the piers and promenade, might not seem the obvious place to find a shop specialising in the repair, restoration and dealing of violins. Tucked away on the 2nd floor of an Edwardian bank building it is a haven of peace above the bustle of this most famous of 19th century resorts. People often travel from all over the country to purchase instruments or to have their own carefully restored. Anything from inexpensive beginner's outfits to fine old French and Italian stock, are all carefully established in order to bring out the finest in that particular instrument.

Violin Shop
read moreThe Violin Shop was established in 1975 by Harry George, ex-Halle orchestra violinist and the business is now run by his son Kevin and Kathy, Kevin's wife. Our restorer and repairer Simon, is in charge of the workshop and has been with the business for over 40 years. Kevin's sister Karen, an artist, specialises in varnish restoration. Most of the instruments we sell are antique and we have even sold violins dating from Shakespeare's time. Instrument values vary enormously and as stock is constantly changing it is advisable to contact us for more information.

read moreOur services could be anything from fitting a new string for a beginner to major restoration for which we will happily give a quote. Many smaller jobs can be done the same day, preferably if an appointment is made beforehand. It should be remembered, however, that Saturdays are normally our busiest day for the purchase of instruments and the workshop is not fully staffed on that day.
