The Wessex Violin Co.

The Wessex Violin Company has partnered with The Workshop Newark to produce a series of exceptional workshop instruments that blend traditional English craftsmanship with modern design. This collaboration aims to revive the rich heritage of English violin making, offering musicians, particularly those at university, conservatoire, or professional levels, a handmade, modern interpretation of the English school of violin making.

• Materials: Each instrument is crafted from high-quality Carpathian maple and spruce, ensuring a robust and resonant sound.
• Varnish: The instruments are finished with a traditional chestnut-brown oil-based varnish, antiqued to recreate the look and feel of older instruments from the British Isles.
• Craftsmanship: Drawing inspiration from celebrated English makers such as Forster, Kennedy, and Banks, these violins embody the esteemed Newark School tradition.
• Certification: Each instrument is individually numbered and carries a Certificate of Authenticity, underscoring its unique craftsmanship.
• Exclusivity: These instruments are available exclusively through The Sound Post Ltd., a UK-based distributor renowned for its commitment to quality and service.
