While we welcome walk in clients with repairs during office hours we are able to serve you best with advanced notice. Please contact us in advance if you are able to schedule an appointment. We will give you an estimate on the spot or generally within 24 hours if our technician is not available. You may request a loaner if you wish while you leave your instrument for estimate or repair. You will be given an approximate time line for completion of the needed work. We are able to complete any restoration or repair task on your bowed string instrument.
