Instrument Consultations
You may phone us at (250) 595-5593 or toll-free (877) 595-5593 during regular business hours Monday to Friday to make arrangements for the viewing and trial of instruments or bows that we have for sale.  Consultations regarding the repair, restoration, tonal adjustment or appraisal of instruments or bows may be made in the same manner.

Parking
There are two city parkades in the area, on Yates St. at Langley and on Broughton St. at Broad.  There is the Bay parkade on View St. near Government, and the Robbins lot at Langley and Fort St., across the alley from our shop.  We have vouchers for a free hour's parking in the city parkades. 

Directions
If you are driving into Victoria from the north, or from the Swartz Bay ferry terminal, continue into the downtown and turn right on Yates Street.  You will pass Government Street, then Langley Street where you will find the city parkade.  Park where you can as you are now less than a block from our shop.

Travel
We recommend the Victoria public transit service!   The closest stops are on Douglas St. Also you will find bike racks near our building in Bastion Square and near the Maritime Museum across the way.  If you are coming from out of town you may consider Harbour Air  or Kenmore Air who fly into our harbour and dock just a few blocks from our shop.  Also in the harbour and just blocks away is the dock for the Clipper ferry service to Seattle, Washington and the Coho ferry to Port Angeles, Washington. We are also just a few blocks from the Pacific Coach Lines and Greyhound Bus terminal which provide service to the Swartz Bay ferry terminal and the Victoria and Vancouver Airports.  


Here are some views of our building and neighborhood to guide you:

 

 

Once you've found our building you can rest on one of the benches outside Camille's Restaurant and admire the flowers.  If you wander along the Langley Street side of the building you will find our side entrance which is marked as the entrance to the Law Chambers, 45 Bastion Square.  This has the fewest stairs.  Note that the doors to the building are only open 9 to 5 Monday to Friday.  At other times you should arrange with us to be met at the entrance.

 

 

If you go through the antique main doors of the building under the big "LAW CHAMBERS" sign, up a short flight of stairs and across the main floor lobby, you will find your way along this descending brickwork hallway to our door, number 204.  There you will find a bell pull by the door to get our attention.  You needn't ring too terribly hard.

       

    And beyond the door is a little bit of magic and wonder.  We hope to see you soon.
