For over 30 years, Simmers Violins has been providing string players with high quality instruments, bows and dependable service. Our centrally located boutique violin shop offers you a personal, one-to-one experience with our award-winning, European-trained violin and bow maker, John Simmers.
At this time of the year, we receive a lot of enquiries from customers looking for beginner instruments. Please have a look at our Instrument pages to see what price ranges we have available before contacting us. Simmers Violins do not stock entry level instruments.
John Simmers is a full member of the Entente Internationale des Maitres Luthiers et Archetiers d’Art and a founding member of the Australian Violin Makers Association.
Our workshop and studio are located in the leafy inner Brisbane suburb of Red Hill. We have ample on and off street parking and there are regular bus services from the city.
