Repair Services
Whether you need a small adjustment or a big repair, all clients and their instruments are treated with respect and care. I do my best to improve the condition and sound of all instruments and bows that come through the shop, from the most to the least expensive, because all instruments are valuable to their owners.
The following price list is provided to give an idea of repair costs for violin. It is an incomplete list of repairs offered. Prices are similar for mandolin, where applicable. Prices for viola are slightly higher and cello and bass prices are both considerably higher, respectively. This list is a rough estimate. Prices will change. Plus tax.
