Repairs and Restorations

Violins, Violas and Cellos although amazingly strong under the pressures of high tension strings and rigorous playing; are at the same time fragile instruments that must be treated with care. There comes a time when your instrument will need to be repaired no matter how careful the owner is. When a violin needs to be fixed, it is important to go to a trained professional.

Violin repair is a delicate art. It is important that the luthier who repairs your instrument is skilled and knowledgeable. I often see repairs that were completed by an unskilled person often leaving the instrument with a repair that now has irreversible damage. Someone skilled in violin repair can take the instrument completely apart to fix any internal problems or make any necessary neck adjustments and reassemble it, leaving it as good as new. Likewise, it is the skilled professional who never does more to an instrument than is needed.

If you have a repair that needs attention, no matter how large or small please contact me. Often times I can make the repair rather quickly and be certain that no further damage is done to your instrument. Call or use the Contact Us page. I will usually get in touch with you on the same business day.

Violin repair can be a difficult and delicate job. Only skilled craftsmen with a steady hand and a thorough understanding of violin construction should attempt a repair on your instrument.
