We provide all the necessary services for string players including set-ups & adjustments for violin, viola, cello, and bass, bow rehairs & repairs. We are the choice for teachers, students, and professional players both regionally and nationally. All of our repair work is guaranteed. We offer free adjustments and checkups as part of our warranty on instruments and bows we sell. Our instrument repairs are done with accuracy and care using traditional repair methods to achieve the optimum tonal response and structural health for your instrument.
Luthiery is a fine art, combining traditions that span centuries and continents. Many of our instruments share much of that history, and often bare scars of wear, and un-trained repairmen. Our goal is to provide strings players with high quality work on their instruments using these traditional repair techniques while preserving them for future generations.
