Violas for professionals

At Bishop Instruments & Bows, we select the finest instruments from all over the world to exhibit and sell from our shop in central London. We specialise in finding the highest quality violas to pair with both amateur and professional viola players of all abilities. Our two large showrooms provide the perfect environment for artists to try out the instruments and see which one is the perfect match for them.

Sean Bishop often travels to Europe and Australia on a yearly basis to hand-select the finest violas for his collection. He now has perhaps one of the largest collections of violas for professionals in Europe, made by both modern makers and old masters.

Ranging from £5000 – £50000+, our large variety of professional violas are catalogued online and constantly updated with latest additions.

The tradition of fine instruments and bows has been a huge part of London for many years, ingrained most notably through the craftsmanship of W.E Hill & Sons. We are proud to be a part of that tradition and aim to continue it by matching high-quality violas with artists and collectors.

Whether you are a professional viola player or just starting out, we will help you find your perfect instrument. Browse our vast selection of violas for professionals and collectors below.
