Timothy Batchelar

First class service 5 ⭐
Excellent customer service.
Excellent affordable prices.
Very honest and kind gentleman who has a real love for music.
A real talent and skill in his craftsmanship.
Allowed us to try out a price range of different violins.
Very knowledgeable on instruments and even gave my child additional tips on holding violin with bow to get the best notes out of instrument.
We purchased our new violin and notes are very beautiful.
Thankyou

Extremely knowledgeable, helpful and honest. Went to get a violin bow repaired and he was very honest that it wasn't worth it, with evidence, and helped my daughter choose a new bow at a very reasonable price. Thank you very much.

Excellent experience. Made an appointment to try out and purchase a new violin bow - Mr. Batchelar provided several in my requested price range and left me to try them out on my own violin until I’d selected a suitable one, having stressed that there was no obligation to buy. Very happy with the bow I purchased - would definitely come here again.

Knowledgeable luthier (violin repairer), very friendly and helpful, had a wealth of experience and had lots of good quality orchestral stringed instruments for sale which can be tried out before purchase. Photos of complicated work he is carrying out on a 1640 labelled violin.

A very talented man who quite obviously loves his music. We've rented a cello at a reasonable cost and may buy from him later. He showed us this amazing double bass he was making!

Very knowledgeable gentleman.
Gave me a quote for repairs to my violin which I'll take up as soon as possible.

Professional and helpful. Variety of violins and other instruments specifically made for him in stock

Tim is fantastic and always a pleasure to visit.

Really nice guy, excellent service, thank you.

Amazing, very knowledgeable and pleasant
