VIOLINS
Hi Tim,
A quick message to say how pleased I am with my new asymmetric
fiddle.
It's now had several public appearances and has been much admired
for both its looks and its sound. It's capable of such a huge range of
expression, and I particularly love the big, glorious sound this fiddle can make. I must admit I am having a lot of trouble putting it down at the moment this instrument and I are going to be friends for a very long time!
Many thanks for the opportunity to spend a morning trying all those
fiddles of yours - every one was different and I am so pleased that I was able to make what I know was the perfect choice for me.
(The Codabow is very nice too.)
Aloha Tim,
I received my violin this afternoon. It sounds great and is beautiful. Tell Bonnie I am very pleased with her art work too. I could go on and on but I need to go play it some-more, it was hard to stop long enough to e-mail you. Thanks for a great fiddle!!!
Mahalo, (thank-you in Hawaiian)
Thanks for all, it was a real pleasure for me to visite you and buy an authentic Tim Phillips' Violine.
I've called some friends to come and see one of the nicest violine of the world.
Tim's instruments and bows are just the finest ,this accompanied
by a great personal and friendly service, what more could you
ask for...Tom Leary [Feast of Fiddles,Tanna, Kevin Dempsey etc],
"Tim.. it's lovely. Arrived safe and sound. Beautiful
arching on the front. OK..... what can I say.... Maybe I am
naive but this thing sings :) Unbelievable volume and air to
it. My playing just evolved an eon. Gobsmacked... That my tutor
is going to be speechless is unquestionable.. I just played
the same piece on my old Hungarian fiddle and the Messiah (My
own personal Jesus) .... errr.... I was afraid for the neighbours...
Tim.... your modesty is astonishing.... "
"My violin has a lovely tone, and has been much
admired by other players, I really enjoy playing it"
"Got the fiddle safe and sound, and it's absolutely fantastic.
I love the colour and the sound, thanks so much." Eliza

"I am suddenly playing a lot more, a new instrument
is a siren, it calls you to get it out of it's case. What pleasure
! "
"Fiddle sounds great, it's really got such a huge sound
I can compete with boxes in sessions ! It's a very special instrument...
I find myself playing for hours on end, it's just superb."
"Lots of character... beautifully made...lovely instrument.."
"I am really pleased with this fiddle, I love playing it."

"I've been meaning to email you to tell you how I'm
enjoying the Infidel. It is a real pleasure to play as you said,
nice and mellow and even...and I like how you can play hard
on the A and E without piercing or screeching out. "
