My violin repair work is a combination of traditional techniques learnt from my teacher, more modern techniques from working in a violin store and my own background in engineering. You are welcome to contact me about a repair estimate, SMS with a photo works well.
My most common violin repair work is to the running gear including fingerboard, peg box, pegs, varnish, bridge and sound post…as well as open seams and cracks that arise due to our unique climate and timber shrinkage as it ages. A regular violin service keeps an eye on future problems as well.
Violins, while they can last for hundreds of years, need regular maintenance and at times repair, especially in the hands of younger players where they can suffer from misadventure, violin repairs are a must. The old adage “a stitch in time save nine” is certainly true. Taking care of a stuck or slipping peg, can avoids a break in the scroll down the track .
Probably one of the most satisfying aspects of my violin workshop is bringing back to life violins that need a little TLC through repair or even restoration, cello and viola as well of course.
Repair costs are a combination of my time on your instrument, parts and associated carrying costs. Together with the time you don’t see with reordering, keeping my tools sharp…and *cough* maintaining a tidy workshop, this website and bookkeeping etc…. I am a little cheaper than most music/string stores owing to my overheads being lower.
