Today should be interesting. I am going to collect my winnings from the Omega Music liquidation sale. Five cellos, 53 violins. About 1.8 cubic metres as far as I can work out, which is about the same as we collected from Ipswich in March when the Galaxy was so full we couldn't even get the cardboard in and had to pay them £25 to dispose of it. Ford Galaxies are supposed to take 2.3 cubic metres but I can only assume that is with both front seats pulled as far forward as they will go. No use in my case,...

Prices are going to be the lowest in the UK because...

The single maker Chinese violins have been ordered and will be here very soon.  The first one was so well received (if only people would leave reviews!) that I asked for more.  But there are only two.  Book yours now!  Approval is fine.Also I am giving another chance to a maker I first dealt with over a year ago.  He runs a very small workshop in Romania and his main business if in the sale of tonewoods.  The last two I got were nice in terms of the wood but I did have to get them set up here and...
