Many problems may not be noticeable to the untrained eye, so bring in your instrument for a trained evaluation and estimate.   Our Dedicated staff of professional instrument technicians use high quality bridges, strings and bow hair on all of our and your fine instruments.

Artistic restorations on musical instruments are subject to the interpretation of the individual restorer and as such cannot be offered with a guarantee of specific results regarding varnish color or tonal characteristics. Our goal is to bring out the unique and best personality in each instruments while maintaining the integrity as to what the original maker had in mind.

            These are just a basic guideline of costs. Individual estimates are necessary on any varnish touch up, crack repairs, neck grafts, and repairs requiring the instrument to be opened.
