Welcome to Fiddler Dan’s Violins and Workshop
Hi there and welcome to my suburban violin workshop, right here in Mt.Gravatt, Mansfield on Brisbane’s Southside. I’ve been playing for over 40 years and understand the sweet spot between sound quality and affordability. For new and preloved violins, accesserories as well as all bowed string repair and restorations. See also my restored antiques if you are after something unique.
I’m an Authorised dealer for the following music industry suppliers of instruments, just like the big music shops. Custom orders from their respective catalogues are welcome (click logo to see their items).
About my instruments
All new instruments that I prepare from these suppliers are further setup by myself to my own specifications (or yours) to enhance sound and playability. My offer to you is good service, quality and after sales support, whilst still maintaining the recommended retail price (RRP). All instruments come with Australian warranties standard.
My Community and you
If you like music and violins you are welcome at my shop, relax and don’t feel preassured to spend big… pull up a chair and lets work together. In addition to parents and players of all abilities and ages, I also supply instruments to a number of schools in the local area and undertake repair and setup work for schools, music stores and a distributor.
As a parent, player and repairer I have a good knowledge of what teachers like, what sounds good for the price, is robust for students and how instruments behave in the tough Australian environments.
