You certainly can! We have lovely gift certificates for purchase in blocks of 4,8 or 12. See our 'gift certificate' page for more info. 

​

Do you offer trial lessons?

​

No we do not offer trial or one-off lessons. We do not usually have the space or availability to accommodate this type of lesson. 

​

Who taught you? 

​

Claire was taught the Violin by Mr Stuart Telling and studied for her degree at UWIC. 

​

Leigh learnt his craft under the guidance of Mr David Parry and studied for his degree at Trinity College, Carmarthen. 

​

We need to have our piano tuned/repaired. Who do you recommend?

​

We use Martin J Evans of Rogerstone, Newport. He can be contacted on

01633 669502 or 07931 836005   

​

We want to buy a Violin. Where can we find one?

​

We can supply Violin's directly to you, dependent on stock. 

​

Please don't buy a Violin for your child/yourself before taking professional advice - Adults and teens will likely need a full size instrument, where younger children will vary between a quarter, half or 3/4 size violin. Your arm length will need to be measured before purchase.  

​

Our advice is FREE, give us a call.

You may buy the wrong size or a poor quality instrument and you may end up buying twice!

​

We want an Electric/Digital Piano. Where can we buy one?

​

Please visit Gardner's - The Piano Specialists in Cardiff.

​

Contact Jeff or Melanie on 029 2062 3423 for current prices & stock availability.

​

We want to buy an acoustic Piano. Where can we find one?

​

Again, the advice would be to visit a shop to get first hand advice, not online.

​

For expert & friendly advice, we recommend Gardner's - The Piano Specialists in North Road, Cardiff. Prices vary, so it would be best to contact them directly to see if they have anything to suit your budget. New & second hand piano's are available.

​

Does an acoustic Piano take a lot of caring for?

​

An acoustic Piano takes more care than a digital and should be tuned about once a year, more often if you are an accomplished pianist, studying the higher grades.

​

The cost of tuning/servicing is around £75

​

Ensure you have adequate space for an acoustic Piano which allows you to keep it away from a radiator and direct sunlight, as this can affect its performance, including the instrument going out of tune easily and more often.
