New making (violin, viola)
Commission a new instrument. Select your wood from out extensive collection, choose the model you want, tell us the appearance of the varnish that you favor. Our wish is to offer you a truly inspired instrument, to help you play music that is truly inspired. We have made violins for several symphony concertmasters, soloists, symphony members, professional fiddlers, and serious amateurs.
Repairs and Restoration
We have done adjustments and repairs for individuals, school systems, and other shops since 1993. We will examine your instrument or bow and offer an estimate for repairs and restorations. You are welcome to choose which jobs you would like to have done.
Rentals
Our student rentals are much superior to most music store rentals (where you get the cheapest thing ever made, which insures that the student will fail.). We seek out good-quality instruments, bows, and cases that will help insure the student's success. You can even bring your teacher along and play through half a dozen choices and then take the best one!
Insurance Appraisals
We sometimes offer written appraisals for insurance purposes. This document estimates retail replacement costs, and is required by insurance companies if you submit a claim for a lost, stolen, or damaged musical instrument. Photos and descriptions are included.
