Repairs

Whether an extremely rare, old instrument or a more contemporary, damaged model, we treat all projects with the greatest respect. We are not only restoring an instrument, but also a story.

Our expert restoration craftsmen have extensive skills and expertise at their disposal to restore your old or damaged watch to its original appearance.
It is vital that your timepiece does not lose its identity, or authenticity. Some old instruments suffer enormously from wear and the passage of time. This forms part of their story.

Our restoration experts repair, replace or manufacture each component according to the individual need. A multitude of highly specialized manual operations are required to restore an old instrument to its former glory. Ultimately, however, it is a task that is well worth the effort.

The cost of this service will depend on the complexity of your specific project.

Our proximity to major orchestras and music schools - Cleveland Orchestra, Cleveland Institute of Music, Oberlin Conservatory of Music, etc. - has resulted in considerable demand for high-quality instrument and bow repairs as well as bow rehairs. We have risen to the challenge by providing outstanding service at a very reasonable price.

Instruments Repaired According to Their Value
We take care to suit all repair costs to the value of the instrument. In other words, we don’t do a $1,000 repair job on a $300 violin. In many cases, rehairs, small repairs, and minor adjustments can be done while you wait.

Proper Set-Up for E-bay & Amazon Violins
Most instruments purchased online have potential to play extremely well and sound excellent, however Amazon or eBay instruments are often shipped with very sloppy setup and occasionally require extensive work to play well. We bring the instrument up to fantastic playing shape at a cost that suits this economic approach to violin buying.
