We have outstanding workshop facilities set over two floors with a separate machine room, photo studio and research library. We are well equipped with the tools necessary and expertise to make and carry out all repairs and restorations both minor and extensive. Our staff are highly experienced, dedicated professionals who carry out restorations on all violin family instruments both modern and baroque. We also repair double basses, lutes and viola da gambas.
Buying and selling
We are always available to discuss your requirements and once we understand your ambitions will use our experience and expertise to tailor a selection of instruments to your specific needs.
If you have an instrument or bow that you would like to sell please get in touch. If your instrument is not suitable for our stock we can provide practical advice on how you can sell it. We are always searching for instruments and bows to sell that are suitable for professional and amateur musicians, and consider buying instruments requiring restoration.
We also offer sale on commission, if your instrument or bow meets our standards, we can sell it on your behalf.
A truly brilliant shop which I’ve used now for several decades! I’ve had bridges cut, fingerboards shot, and bows re-haired – all of which have been expertly executed by the talented staff. Always a warm welcome and full of clear advice – Gary (Bridgewood) helped me buy my first Electric violin! I play violin professionally and would definitely recommend them for all string instrument work – so refreshing to find a music shop where the staff aren’t just about commission, they have time for you.
Always very helpful
Always very helpful, and able to work with the wide range of violins that I use and work with.
We are regular customers
We are regular customers and also bought a violin 2 years back. The service we always get is superb. Attention to detail, very good value for money, and a very helpful team!
We got it within 3 business days of order (shipped via UPS).
The nice touch? We got a phone call from them the day the violin was ordered to see if everything was ok, and if we needed help.
Bridgewood & Neitzert is my favourite violin dealer/maintenance shop in London. I’ve always found the staff to be friendly and helpful, as well as the owners, who are usually also somewhere close at hand to help.
There was a chap from one of the trade publications there yesterday, I think it was Pro Sound News, doing an article on ELO, asking about speakers, mixing desks and mics etc.
