Sound is a vital element when it comes to choosing the right stringed instrument.

Givens Violins is committed to finding excellent sounding instruments in every price range. We know that the dependability of an instrument and the way that it produces sound are extremely important to the player. In order to achieve this, we make sure that the instruments we sell are well-constructed of seasoned materials and accurately set up. Our attention to detail and the exacting standards of our staff of professionally trained violin makers and restorers ensures that your purchase or your repair will not disappoint you.

Givens Violins employs professionally trained violin makers who have experience in restoration. Our workshop of 5 restorers represents 112 years of experience in the violin business. They understand and use the 400 year-old tradition of violin-making not only to help our customers maintain the sound of their instruments, but also to assist in the selection and preparation of instruments and bows for sale.

In order to help make the sound of our instruments consistently great, our workshop uses aged bridges, sound posts, pegs, and fingerboards of the highest quality.

The owners of the business, Claire Givens and Andrew Dipper, have combined experience of 65 years in the violin business. They search the world over to find the finest violins, violas, cellos, and bows in every price range.

We are all players, so talk to us about the sound you want. We look forward to helping you find it.
