Dear Julian,

Thank you very much for your review and for highlighting that you received great service from us.

We completely understand your point about price and that it’s frustrating to see the same item cheaper elsewhere afterwards. As a small specialist shop, we try to keep our prices as fair as we can while still being able to offer the level of expertise, setup and aftercare that larger volume retailers often can’t provide. Our focus is on quality of instruments, careful preparation, and long‑term support for players, rather than competing in a race to the very lowest possible margin.

As a thank you for choosing us, and in recognition of your feedback, we’d like to offer you a 10% discount on any future order with us. If you contact us directly before your next purchase, we’ll be very happy to arrange this for you.

That said, we’re genuinely grateful you chose to buy from us, and we hope the accessory serves you well for a long time. If you ever see a significant price difference on the same item in future, please do let us know at the time – we’re always happy to look at what we can do.

If you feel that our service and specialist support are reflected in your experience, we’d be very thankful if you might consider updating your rating, as reviews are incredibly important to an independent shop like ours. Either way, we value your feedback and hope to welcome you again.

With best wishes,
Gary Bridgewood

Dear Andreas,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and for your interest in the cello bow from our shop.

From the outset on 15 December, our shop team responded promptly to your enquiry, explained the situation with EU shipping after Brexit, and made clear that customs fees and local VAT would be determined by the Austrian authorities and not by us. When you asked about costs, we advised that we would need your full address to obtain an accurate shipping quote and estimated that insured shipping would be at least £50, which is why the default £10 website postage could not cover a fully insured courier shipment of a valuable cello bow to Vienna.

Once you placed the order online on 23 December, the team booked the shipment the same day using our shipping consultants and wrote to you immediately to explain the additional £20 required for full, insured carriage, offering both bank transfer and card payment by phone as options. After you paid the extra £20, we then informed you the same afternoon that there had been a problem with the package not being collected and that, because 23 December was our final working day before our Christmas closure, it was unlikely to be collected before we closed and that dispatch would therefore have to take place once we reopened on 2 January.

The failed collection and the timing around the Christmas period were, unfortunately, outside our control, and the shop team did their very best to keep you informed at each step, including setting out potential delays, customs procedures, and holiday closure in advance. It is genuinely sad for us that this experience led you to feel you had to leave a negative review, especially as so many of our customers have positive experiences with our communication and shipping, but we absolutely respect your right to share your perspective and regret that on this occasion we did not meet your expectations.
