A lot of people tell me I look like Santa Claus...I have got to stop wearin' RED socks..eh! I'm up to my knees in Violins, up to my armpits in Cellos and the Double Basses are over my head......HELP!....Ive got a full range of old, restored European violins, copies of Stradivari, Guarneri, Amati, Bergonzi, De Salo, Hopf, Stainer, Klotz and Rubus..etc.

* GLIGA * RAGGETTI * JOSEPH VIOTTI * SUZUKI * CHAMBER * SAMUEL SHEN * BELISONA * SALIERI * STENTOR * HOFNER & many more....
I have worked in violinmaking workshops for 28 years now and have developed a liking for setting up "fiddleplayers" violins with refined actions, designed for lightning fast stopping and feather soft touch fingering, really suited to be played in the first and second positions most of the time. They are the RATTLESNAKE "Old Timer" and the RATTLESNAKE "Shillelagh" and sell for less than $1000.
Student Violin outfits start at $165 with ebony fittings, case & bow and all instruments are professionally set up, by me, in my WILLIAMSTOWN workshop.... so!...give me a call on (03) 9397 2868 and I will give you the good oil.. You can also check out my catalogue at... < www.hayesviolins.com.au >.. for more guff on my violin o/fs.. I will also restore/repair your old violin and can discuss giving it the "snake" treatment to give you an edge with your fiddle playing technique and to alter the sonic qualities with soundpost positioning and string choices.....
All strings in my shop are discounted by at least 15% all the time, all year and I freepost to anyone, anywhere, anytime...TRUE... Cello and Double Bass players are also well cared for in my workshop and I have special deals for them as well.
