Discover one of Perth’s largest selections of string instruments at Tempest Music. Whether you’re choosing a violin for a young beginner, moving up to an intermediate instrument, or searching for a high-quality instrument for advanced study or performance, our experienced team can help you find the right instrument.
We stock violins, violas, cellos and double basses from respected makers including Gliga, Heinrich Gill, Roth, Eastman, Kreisler and more, with instruments to suit beginners, advancing musicians and professional players.
Every instrument is professionally prepared before it reaches our showroom. Our string instruments undergo careful setup by experienced luthiers, including bridge adjustment and the fitting of high-quality strings where appropriate. A good setup can make an enormous difference to the sound, response and playability of an instrument — particularly for a developing player.
Tempest Music is recommended by teachers and professional musicians throughout Perth, and we work closely with the local music community to help students and families choose instruments that will support their playing and development.
Every player is different, which is why we encourage you to compare instruments side by side. Rather than choosing simply by brand or specifications, you can hear and feel the differences and find the instrument that suits you best.
If you’re just starting, we’ll explain the differences between instruments, brands, sizes and outfit packages in straightforward terms. We can also discuss rental and purchase options, so you can choose the approach that best suits your family.
