A brief history...

The Sound Post was founded in London in 1993 by the late Stephen Jocelyn, a professional cellist, who wanted to improve the quality of student instruments available in the UK. The Primavera range was introduced in 1995 and revolutionised the student violin market, by introducing for the first time styrofoam cases and tailpieces with integral adjusters as part of the outfit as well as a much improved quality of workmanship in the student violin.

The range has steadily increased to include a wide variety of models and prices, which showcase the vastly improved standard of Chinese violin making.

Because of the continuing expansion of the business and space constraints at Heytesbury Mill we have moved to new, purpose built, premises in the nearby village of Codford St Peter.

Formerly an officers mess during the Great War and latterly used for livestock until the early 1990s, Mayflower Farm has been rejuvenated as offices and warehousing space. The layout and facilities have specifically been designed to further improve our service to our customers.

Mayflower Farm
Codford St Peter Wiltshire

Mayflower or Trailing arbutus (Epigaea repens). Traditionally the first bloom of spring. For the Mayflower Pilgrims it was the first sign that their first hard winter was over in Plymouth, Massachusetts. By pure coincidence our flagship brand is Primavera (spring).
