The Tim Toft Violin Shop in Stone are Dealers and Restorers in Fine Violins, Violas, Cellos, Double Basses & Bows. The shop is located in the centre of Stone near to the War Memorial by Albert Toft (and what is reputed to be the most northerly plane tree in the United Kingdom).
The three-storey shop, which dates from 1820, offers customers fitting surroundings in which to view and try out instruments of all eras.
They have an extensive range of old and modern instruments spanning the baroque, classical and modern periods - one of the largest selections in the UK outside of London.
There are four specially designed rooms in the premises where customers are welcome to try out instruments.
They have a purpose-built workshop extension that was completed in 2011. This major investment also enabled them to provide specialist tooling and individually designed workstations.
