I would highly recommend you to anyone I know. You have played my requests and I'm very happy with it. You definitely made my party so worthwhile."
Vanessa's review of Natalya Strings
Ideal for:
String players will generally suite more formal events. This is especially true of those with a classical repertoire. Weddings, proposals, corporate events and formal diners will all benefit from hiring a local string player.
When booking String Players:
String players will often offer multiple line ups, with additional musicians like a cellist, violin duo or viola player performing as a duo or trio. It is important to speak to your prospective act about your requirements and ideas for your event, as they will be able to offer advice.
Many string players will be able to perform acoustically at smaller events, but may require amplification at larger ones. Always let your musician know how many guests you are planning to have attend, this will help them decide whether to play acoustically or not.

About String Players:
Some modern string players will use electric instruments and perform arrangements of pop or chart hits. Others will perform more traditional classical material on acoustic instruments. For this reason, it's important to thoroughly check the promotional material any prospective act.
The string players on the directory will use many different instruments, and some will specialise in more than one. The most common instruments on the directory are the violin, viola and cello, but this category also features other instrumentalists, such as double bass players, harpists and classical guitarists. Some string players will also play the piano or possibly woodwind instruments as their second instrument.
If you have any specific pieces that you would like your musician to cover, always speak to them far enough in advance to facilitate transcription and rehearsal. It may also be worth providing themusician with the sheet music of the piece, if you have it.
