Bespoke Instrument Restoration

If your instrument has suffered a mishap—whether it’s a violin, viola, cello or double bass—we’re here to help. From minor repairs to full restoration work, we take care of your instrument with the same attention and skill we’d want for our own. Don’t wait—the sooner a restoration begins, the sooner it’s complete. Click here to contact us.

Whether you need a loan instrument while yours is in our care, or a detailed insurance damage report, we’re happy to advise and support you every step of the way.

Cost Estimates

Before any work begins, we provide a detailed cost estimate based on a careful visual inspection. If needed, we use an endoscope to assess the condition of the instrument internally. If we uncover additional issues once work has started—issues that couldn’t be identified during the initial inspection—we’ll always speak with you first and agree on the best way forward before proceeding.

Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of working with world-class restorers from across Europe. Those connections continue to this day. We stay in close contact with colleagues across the continent, exchanging ideas and insights that enhance every project we take on.

In restoration, the learning never stops—each instrument teaches us something new.
