If you’re looking for violin repairs in Brisbane’s Bayside, you’ve probably noticed there aren’t many local options. I get a steady stream of visitors from the Bayside and Redlands area looking for violins, bows, and professional string instrument repairs. Since the closure of Binary Music in Cleveland, my workshop has become the closest music store for string musicians, as a dedicated violin and string repair services for the region, from Victoria point to Wynnum.
Located in Mansfield, Brisbane, I’m an easy drive via the Gateway Motorway, Old Cleveland Road, or Mount Cotton Road — making me a convenient alternative to heading into the city for quality violin repairs and advice.
Supporting the Redlands String Community
The Redlands area, once known mostly for farms and open land, is now a growing mix of suburbs and small acreage — and it’s home to a vibrant and expanding music community. The Redlands Sinfonia Orchestra is already making waves, and both established and string studios like Suzi G’s SOMAP, are helping to support school string programs across the Bayside.
I also carry out a large amount of school violin and instrument repair work, helping keep student instruments in good playing condition throughout the year.
Your Local Suburban Violin Workshop
If you’re searching for a violin shop near the Redlands or Brisbane Bayside and don’t feel like crossing the river or battling city traffic, my suburban violin workshop is well worth the trip. I offer:
- Violin, viola, and cello repairs
- Bow rehairs and repairs
- New violins, viola and cello
- Instrument servicing
In a way, there’s a nice sense of irony in it all — as a boy, I used to travel out to Victoria Point myself to see Frank Williams for all my stringed instrument needs. Now I get to return the favour by helping the next generation of Bayside and Redlands musicians.
