Get the Must-Have Violin Parts and Accessories

At Simply for Strings, we stock a diverse range of violin accessories for beginners and advanced players. Whether you're searching for a new shoulder rest, premium rosin, reliable bow grip, cases or polishes to protect and care for your instrument, you'll find the best options here.

Shoulder Rests

A well-fitted shoulder rest transforms how you hold and play your violin. It provides stability and reduces tension in your neck and shoulders when playing.

At Simply for Strings, you'll find the best ergonomic designs from Kun and Everest, lightweight options from Pirastro, and adjustable shoulder rests from Bonmusica. They will adapt to your body structure, help you maintain proper posture and technique, and provide secure instrument positioning to make long practice sessions more comfortable.

Violin Rosin

Rosin is an essential violin accessory that enhances bow grip and sound production. Without it, your bow hair wouldn’t produce a rich, clear tone on the strings. At Simply for Strings, we offer high-quality light and dark rosins from Pirastro, Hidersine, Hill, and Melos to suit different settings and playing styles. Many professional players keep several types on hand to match varying repertoire. Consider buying light violin rosin for a cleaner, brighter sound and a smoother response, and opt for dark rosin for extra grip and a warmer, more complex tone.

Violin Mutes

A mute is a small but powerful violin accessory necessary for every player. It helps soften your instrument’s sound and control its volume. Violin mutes are indispensable when you're practising late at night or need to create a more subdued tone for an orchestral performance.

In our violin accessory collection, we stock a variety of options, from metal practice mutes for significant sound reduction to mutes made of other materials, such as leather and ebony, for nuanced sound modification.

Chin Rests

A chin rest is one of the most essential violin parts. It ensures comfort and control while playing, helps prevent muscle strain, and supports the correct posture. At Simply for Strings, we offer violin chin rests in different shapes and materials, including hypoallergenic options for sensitive skin. You can choose from centred or side-mounted designs to match your playing style.

Bow Grips

Bow grips improve the comfort and control of your bow hold. If you struggle with maintaining a steady grip, these violin accessories can help you develop better hand positioning and technique. They are especially useful for beginners developing their bow hold.

Our collection offers innovative bow grips from Things 4 Strings and Stringvision, perfect for young players and experienced violinists. They help you maintain a correct bow hold and enhance your comfort, especially during long practice sessions or performances.

Tuning Violin Accessories

Remaining perfectly in tune is fundamental to your sound and musical expression. At Simply for Strings, we offer a variety of must-have violin accessories to make this process easier:

• Peg paste prevents sticking and slipping pegs, ensuring smooth tuning even in changing humidity conditions.
• Electronic tuners provide instant visual feedback for precise pitch adjustment.
• The Tuning Fork A is an essential tool for violinists, providing a precise 440Hz reference pitch for accurate tuning by ear.

Cleaning Accessories

Your violin is a musical instrument and a valuable investment requiring special care. Microfibre cloths, violin polishes, and expertly designed cleaning tools are essential for preserving your violin's condition. At Simply for Strings, you can find these violin accessories and more to keep your instrument looking good and performing at its best.

Storage Accessories for Violin Parts

Protecting your instrument between playing sessions is just as important as mastering it well. At Simply for Strings, we offer protective bow tubes to prevent warping and hair damage, humidifiers for case climate control, straps and harnesses for comfortable carrying, string containers to keep spare strings organised, and many more accessories to transport and store your violin and its parts safely.
