Repairs and Appraisals

We do expert repairs on all stringed instruments, and our setups bring your instrument to its highest performance level.

  • instrument set-up
  • instrument cleaning
  • cracks repaired
  • custom bridges
  • fingerboard re-planing
  • bows rehaired
  • varnish touchup

We do appraisals for insurance purposes at reasonable rates. The shop keeps an extensive collection of reference materials to aid in identifying instruments, but our real expertise comes from years of travel and study. We see hundreds of instruments every year at festivals and auctions, in addition to the dozens which pass through the shop monthly. Our appraisals are recognized and accepted by instrument insurers nationwide.
