Testimonials
Joy Gravestock, musician and music therapist
"I was really excited to meet Glyn and enjoy lots of experimentation with his violins and violin-variants at a festival last summer.
The great thing was Glyn's no-pressure response to me and his sheer delight in letting me experiment and play with unfamiliar instruments for….well, a long time!
I loved all of the violins and was surprised by the quality of sound across all strings. Often on a 5 string instrument there is a loss of quality on either the top or bottom strain but on his, this was not the case.
The quality of the sound is great and I was able to play very softly and not lose quality, this is hugely advantageous when you are playing through a sound system, yet still have a good quality of sound under the ear.
I would also consider using one of these Vio-5 instruments in my other role as a music therapist, as the work I do it is helpful to have an instrument with a greater range of sounds. It was a great pleasure to meet a maker like Glyn and to have such an enjoyable time playing his instruments. Highly recommended!"
