 VIOLINS

 NEW VALENCIA VIOLINS

Decent quality student violin outfits. These instruments are properly set up in our own workshop at no extra charge. All sizes available. We generally have sizes from 1/4 to full size in stock.

Please avoid the real cheapies offered on the net. They tend to be poor in quality and not set up. Making them play properly can be quite costly and the result is often still poor. They don't represent good value. The schools and teachers who have bought Valencias from me have all been pleased with their purchases.

$229 cash cheque or direct credit

 GUITARS & UKULELES

 FOLK, WESTERN & ELECTRIC GUITARS

We have chosen to stock the SX range of folk, western & electric guitars. They have proven to be of a consistantly good quality and represent good value for money. All guitars are supplied with a free bag. 

CLASSIC GUITARS

Most of our classic guitars are from the Valencia range. We chose these because, like the SX range they are consistant, of good reliable quality and modestly priced. We have all sizes from 1/4 up. The 1/4 sized instruments are priced at $89 and full sizes ones are from $119. The schools and teachers invariably prefer their students to use nylon strung classic style guitars. We have supplied many of these instruments to teachers and schools and all have been delighted with them. All guitars are supplied with a free bag. The Custom Series CG30 is a particularly fine solid spruce top model and at $350 is equal to many guitars costing three times as much.

 Ibanez Classic Guitar
