About Our Shop
Our Story
We are professional musicians with the KwaZulu-Natal Philharmonic Orchestra who carefully select and import handmade instruments from master luthiers in Bulgaria and China. Every violin and cello on our site has been personally chosen and played by us in professional settings, ensuring exceptional quality and sound.
Expert Selection
Our specialists - Petya Koleva (Associate Concertmaster) and Kolio Kolev (Cellist) - personally evaluate each instrument before purchase and again before sale. We only offer instruments that meet our rigorous professional standards, many recorded in Durban's acoustically renowned City Hall.
Risk-Free Guarantee
Try any instrument for one full week. Not satisfied? Return it in original condition for a complete refund. We also offer complimentary accommodation in Durban for customers who wish to try multiple instruments in person at our rehearsal facility.
Smart Investment
Quality new instruments offer exceptional value—affordable pricing, room to improve with playing, and potential appreciation if the maker gains recognition. We also offer buyback options on instruments purchased from us, making your investment even more secure.
