The sound is soft, clear with a stable intonation and they are rich in overtones. One of the world’s most popular strings!

The sound is mellow and full, very similar in tone and response to gut strings yet very stable and rich in overtones.

      • Synthetic Violin bows<p>Synthetic, or often referred to as Carbon fibre Violin bows (although not all are carbon fibre) offer playing qualities that are consistent and often comparable to much more expensive wooden Violin bows. It is therefore possible to produce a very reliable, balanced and consistent violin bow for a low price. Synthetic Violin bows are not affected by temperature or humidity variations so are an excellent choice if playing outside. It also means they are highly resistant to warping or losing their spring.</p>
      • Wooden Violin bows<p>Historically, violin bows have almost always been made of wood. More recently synthetic materials have started to catch on but the for now the wooden Violin bow is still very much part of playing the violin!</p> <p>Most wooden Violin bows are made from either Pernambuco or Brazilwood. It was in the 18th century that luthiers discovered that Pernambuco wood has a beautiful mix of strength and resilience that made it perfect for making a bow. It is however becoming more scarce and it is normally more expensive bows made from Pernambuco.</p> <p>Brazilwood is a composite of tropical wood species and slightly heavier than Pernambuco, which lessens the “feel” for the violinist. A Pernambuco wood bow is more responsive to the vibrations of the violin, which sends those vibrations back through the bow to the violinist’s hands. Brazilwood bows tend to be cheaper bows and while players are yet to discern the differences in bows, they are a very good option.</p> <p>Their denser weight is actually an advantage with very young students as it makes the bow more difficult to break.</p>

    • Stands & Wall hangersStringed Instrument stands Stringed Instrument stands are an essential. There’s nothing more risky than putting a violin or viola down on a bed or standing a cello or Double bass in the corner while you have a break from practicing! One mishap could be the end of the instrument or at best a very expensive repair. Stands for violins (or violas), cellos and basses are essential for every player. If putting your violin away every time is hindering you practicing, try a violin wall hangar from Hercules or K&M – the instrument is right where you need it, when you need it!
    • Shoulder restsViolin and Viola Shoulder rests are very personal and what suits one player may not suit another. Many young students start off with the Huber pad or Jegro shoulder pad before moving on to a shoulder rest. Most teachers would then have a preferred option – Kun and Wolf are the long standing favourites but there are now many very good and comfortable alternatives. If you’re undecided and in the area you’re most welcome to spend some time in the shop trying them to find one that suits you.

    • Stools, Transport & Player comfortStools, Transport & Player comfort Looking after you back while you play is very important which is why the wedge cushion from Caswells Strings is one of our best selling products. Other products to help the Bass player include the leather carry strap, the high stool and the bass wheel which slots into the endpin.
    • Cello and Bass floor anchorsCello and Bass floor anchors Cello and Bass floor anchors do just what they say – they go on the floor in front of you and anchor the cello so it doesn’t slide away. Generally speaking there is no advantage of one over the other except that some require a chair to anchor to. If a suitable chair is not available, one with a rubber backing is recommended such as the Blackhole or Viva floorstop. If you regularly play on a long pile carpet, an anchor with a strap is recommended. A recent development in floorstops is the resonator chamber which also enhances the sound.

But mutes aren’t only to please the neighbours; sure it helps keep the volume down if you’re spending hours practicing but then some scores may also require you to play softer in parts. The heavy metal or ultra rubber mutes are very quite while the tourte mute is ideal for leaving on the strings while you’re playing so it can be engaged at any time.
    • Tuning pegsTuning pegs for violin, viola and cello are available in a variety of shapes and woods, the most common being the ebony pegs in the Parisian style. The Posture peg is an innovative invention allowing cellists to play comfortably without the C and G string peg getting in the way.

    • Humidifiers & HygrometersHumidifiers & Hygrometers Why do I need a humidifier & Hygrometer? Making sure the humidity is correct is essential, especially if you’re traveling with the instrument from a cool climate to a warm, dry climate.

It is essential that the instrument is kept free of grime and rosin residue and that the strings are kept clean. Microfibre cloths ensure a gentle application if varnish cleaner.
    • Pickups & PreampsStringed instrument pickups – From single disc transducers to sophisticated pickups located in the adjuster wheels on a Double Bass bridge, we stock a full range at Caswells Strings.

    • Workshop toolsWorkshop tools
    • RosinRosin The question is often asked: Which rosin should I use? The following helpful information is provided by Pirastro: 1)  High quality rosins enable perfect bowing without scratching, especially if only a thin layer has been applied. In general: Violinists and violists need harder or dryer rosins Cellists need a medium rosin Bassists need softer, stickier rosins 2)  Another factor influencing the choice is the kind of core material of the string you use: Steel strings can be better played with a hard or dry rosin Synthetic and gut strings can be better played with soft-medium rosins 3)  Experienced players tend to prefer softer rosins for the studio but harder rosins in the concert hall. Hard rosins are best in tropical climate and softer rosins in a colder climate. 4)  Rosins do dry out and lose their characteristic formula so it is recommended using a cake for 1 year only.

      • Synthetic Violin bows<p>Synthetic, or often referred to as Carbon fibre Violin bows (although not all are carbon fibre) offer playing qualities that are consistent and often comparable to much more expensive wooden Violin bows. It is therefore possible to produce a very reliable, balanced and consistent violin bow for a low price. Synthetic Violin bows are not affected by temperature or humidity variations so are an excellent choice if playing outside. It also means they are highly resistant to warping or losing their spring.</p>
      • Wooden Violin bows<p>Historically, violin bows have almost always been made of wood. More recently synthetic materials have started to catch on but the for now the wooden Violin bow is still very much part of playing the violin!</p> <p>Most wooden Violin bows are made from either Pernambuco or Brazilwood. It was in the 18th century that luthiers discovered that Pernambuco wood has a beautiful mix of strength and resilience that made it perfect for making a bow. It is however becoming more scarce and it is normally more expensive bows made from Pernambuco.</p> <p>Brazilwood is a composite of tropical wood species and slightly heavier than Pernambuco, which lessens the “feel” for the violinist. A Pernambuco wood bow is more responsive to the vibrations of the violin, which sends those vibrations back through the bow to the violinist’s hands. Brazilwood bows tend to be cheaper bows and while players are yet to discern the differences in bows, they are a very good option.</p> <p>Their denser weight is actually an advantage with very young students as it makes the bow more difficult to break.</p>

    • Stands & Wall hangersStringed Instrument stands Stringed Instrument stands are an essential. There’s nothing more risky than putting a violin or viola down on a bed or standing a cello or Double bass in the corner while you have a break from practicing! One mishap could be the end of the instrument or at best a very expensive repair. Stands for violins (or violas), cellos and basses are essential for every player. If putting your violin away every time is hindering you practicing, try a violin wall hangar from Hercules or K&M – the instrument is right where you need it, when you need it!
    • Shoulder restsViolin and Viola Shoulder rests are very personal and what suits one player may not suit another. Many young students start off with the Huber pad or Jegro shoulder pad before moving on to a shoulder rest.

If you’re undecided and in the area you’re most welcome to spend some time in the shop trying them to find one that suits you.

    • Cello and Bass floor anchorsCello and Bass floor anchors Cello and Bass floor anchors do just what they say – they go on the floor in front of you and anchor the cello so it doesn’t slide away. Generally speaking there is no advantage of one over the other except that some require a chair to anchor to. If a suitable chair is not available, one with a rubber backing is recommended such as the Blackhole or Viva floorstop. If you regularly play on a long pile carpet, an anchor with a strap is recommended. A recent development in floorstops is the resonator chamber which also enhances the sound.

Music stand lights are a must – you don’t think you need one until you take the plunge and wonder however you managed without it! And last but not least the magnetic pencil holder which sell by the dozen – need we say more!

    • Hand fitness AccessoriesKey to all string musicians is keeping your hand and finger movements supple and strong. These products are simple exercises which can help strengthen your wrist and fingers
    • MutesMutes The saying goes ‘Good mutes make good neighbours’! But mutes aren’t only to please the neighbours; sure it helps keep the volume down if you’re spending hours practicing but then some scores may also require you to play softer in parts. The heavy metal or ultra rubber mutes are very quite while the tourte mute is ideal for leaving on the strings while you’re playing so it can be engaged at any time.
    • Tuning pegsTuning pegs for violin, viola and cello are available in a variety of shapes and woods, the most common being the ebony pegs in the Parisian style. The Posture peg is an innovative invention allowing cellists to play comfortably without the C and G string peg getting in the way. The precise engineering on the Wittner fine tune pegs has revolutionized the way student instruments can be tuned to precision with the same authentic look.
    • Humidifiers & HygrometersHumidifiers & Hygrometers Why do I need a humidifier & Hygrometer? Making sure the humidity is correct is essential, especially if you’re traveling with the instrument from a cool climate to a warm, dry climate. Sudden changes in humidity can cause the instrument to crack so simple measures including monitoring the humidity with a hygrometer and inserting a humidifier in the instrument, both of which are available from Caswells Strings, can save an expensive repair.
    • Piano stoolsPiano stools Piano stools which are adjustable allowing pianists of all ages to sit comfortably. Choose the finish you require and then a fabric to match.

    • Instrument Care, Polish, maintenance and toolsString Instrument Care, Polish, maintenance and tools Care of your instrument is very important, primarily to keep it out of harms way such as cracking in dry conditions but secondly to keep it in top performing condition. It is essential that the instrument is kept free of grime and rosin residue and that the strings are kept clean. Microfibre cloths ensure a gentle application if varnish cleaner.
    • Pickups & PreampsStringed instrument pickups – From single disc transducers to sophisticated pickups located in the adjuster wheels on a Double Bass bridge, we stock a full range at Caswells Strings. The Headway Band pickup, available for violin, viola, cello and Bass is a very popular choice being very simple to fit and yet producing a full bodied, natural sound.
    • Workshop toolsWorkshop tools
    • RosinRosin The question is often asked: Which rosin should I use? The following helpful information is provided by Pirastro: 1)  High quality rosins enable perfect bowing without scratching, especially if only a thin layer has been applied. In general: Violinists and violists need harder or dryer rosins Cellists need a medium rosin Bassists need softer, stickier rosins 2)  Another factor influencing the choice is the kind of core material of the string you use: Steel strings can be better played with a hard or dry rosin Synthetic and gut strings can be better played with soft-medium rosins 3)  Experienced players tend to prefer softer rosins for the studio but harder rosins in the concert hall. Hard rosins are best in tropical climate and softer rosins in a colder climate. 4)  Rosins do dry out and lose their characteristic formula so it is recommended using a cake for 1 year only.
