Restoration

Repair and Restoration
String instruments and bows

You handle your beloved instrument and your bow with the utmost care, but sometimes accidents happen. I’m here to professionally repair and/or restore your instrument with the care and attention it deserves.

Over the past several decades, refinements in repair techniques have made it possible to repair and restore classic instruments without loss of monetary value or sound integrity.

I look forward to the opportunity to explain my methods and processes, answer your questions, and provide a detailed estimate.


Maintenance is vital to the integrity and performance of your instrument. Bring your instrument to an experienced luthier at least once a year for a professional check-up.

I am available to consult with you about your specific needs and to explain my experience and expertise in maintaining the beauty and structural integrity of your instrument.

Instrument Rentals

High quality instruments at affordable rates

I offer both short-term and long-term rental opportunities for stringed instruments ranging from the 1/16 violin to the double bass. Every rental instrument from my shop is in perfect technical condition, including bows and cases. All instruments meet the highest luthier standards and have been fitted with high quality strings and fine tuners. The instruments are optimized for playability and acoustic quality. I tend to the instruments regularly to ensure their high-quality condition.

It is advisable to insure your instrument against breakage and theft.
