His understanding of tonal subtleties and the structural means by which to gain them is, I believe, exceptional. I wholeheartedly commend him to you”

“Niam Chauhan is a very genuine person, super professional, with impeccable knowledge about string instruments. He took his time to help me find the right instrument and the perfect set up for it. I know I am a bit too picky! He is the one for the perfect set up of a string instrument – worth a trip, wherever you are! I can never recommend Niam enough!”-

“I visited Niam after December, coming from France. Before this, we had talked a lot over the phone to talk about my requirements and get to know each other. It was all very pleasant and professional. He presented to me 8 instruments in my budget range, and everything from history to condition was discussed. We played through the violins deciding which ones I did and did not like, and this took a long time. He was very happy to listen and help. I chose finally my Dieudonne, so we did some soul adjustments and other things until I was fully happy. He made sure of this. Even though he is very young, he does his job very well with passion. This was a great experience and recommend Niam to anyone looking for a professional instrument. I hope to continue doing business with him.”

– France

“The service Niam provides is top grade. He is a young, honest professional who has an impressive and extensive knowledge of violins. I recently purchased a lovely Maggini (copy) violin from Niam and have never been more pleased. I am looking forward to continuing our business relationship in the future.”

– Canada

“Great professional, serious and very honest, surprising with his young age, totally recommended doing business with him. He does this with enthusiasm and passion and that augurs a great future for him. I bought from him a magnificent violin (Hermann Dolling Jr.) at a great price and I hope to continue doing business with him.”

– Spain
