A Collection of Fine Modern and Contemporary Violins - December 2011

   Starting in December through to January we will have a unique selection of fine contemporary and modern violins available for students and professionals to trial for purchase.

   For some time, we have been listening to the concerns and requests of our clientele in regards to the lack of high quality, professional level instruments available in the city and their dismay at having to travel to Toronto or the US to find such an instrument.  There are some great contemporary makers in Ottawa but a good overall selection of instruments at this desired level seems to be abscent.  Taking these requests into great consideration, we at Peter Dawson Violins took the time to contact some of our professional colleagues throughout North America and Europe and gather a collection of fine Modern and Contemporary violins for purchase. 

   Fine examples from the following makers are available to trial as well as other instruments still due into the shop: click on links for more information and photographs.
