About Prima
Serious instruments for a student’s first years.
Placeholder copy: Prima is the student-focused sibling of Victoria Strings London, built on the idea that a beginner instrument shouldn’t be a compromise. We focus on consistent set-up, honest pricing, and a size range that actually matches how young players grow.

Built around how students actually learn.
Set up properly, every time
Placeholder copy: every instrument is strung, adjusted and playing-tested by our workshop team before it is packed — not just checked off a production line.
Sized for every stage
Placeholder copy: from a first 1/16 violin to a step-up model ahead of grade exams, the Prima range is built around how students actually progress.
Built with teachers
Placeholder copy: specifications are reviewed with working music teachers, so the instrument in a student's hands matches what's expected in the lesson room.
Genuinely fair pricing
Placeholder copy: no showroom markup — Prima is priced for families and schools buying more than one instrument, without cutting corners on set-up.
