ZELIA offers a special service in the supply of quality
stringed instruments.
Vital elements are the selection of instruments and care and attention
to the set up. The set up includes the cut of the sound post, bridge
etc., choice and quality of strings and, most of all, the final
adjustments, which make the instrument fully resonant.
We provide a personal service, with professional advice as to choice
of instrument. See 'How to choose a violin
or cello'.
OUR OLD CELLOS are carefully
chosen for character, condition, and correct measurements. All instruments
are carefully restored.
Restoration is only done by the finest craftsmen. We usually replace
the bass bar, to give extra vitality. The condition of instruments
is guaranteed after sale; periodic checks and tonal adjustments
are offered without charge.
NEW CELLOS We supply good
quality modern cellos by established makers. CELLO BOWS are sold, but only
the ones that pass our rigorous tests.
The
right instrument encourages our studies and becomes our voice
in performance
OUR
OLD VIOLINSare
chosen for their condition and character. We aim to simplify your search
for a violin by pre-selection of fine examples. This applies both to modestly
priced violins and to fine instruments for the professional musician.
NEW
VIOLINS We supply fine modem Italian
violins. These instruments have amazing power and quality of tone, which
make them suitable for professional use.
Please note that ZELIA does not, at
present, sell entry-level violins.
