Product Information

The soundpost is central to the tonal character and responsiveness of your instrument. This service focuses on precise soundpost adjustment to improve internal balance, clarity, and projection without the need for a full replacement.

This service includes:

  • Thorough inspection of the existing soundpost

  • Adjustment of soundpost position for improved tone, response, and balance

  • Fine-tuning of tension and angle for optimal resonance

  • Consultation to discuss tonal goals and any playing concerns you may have

Soundpost adjustments are ideal if your instrument sounds uneven, lacks projection, or has become less responsive over time. Even small changes in positioning can make a noticeable difference to your instrument’s voice.

Availability: This service is available at our Billinghay workshop.

Post-in service:

Instruments can be posted to us at the owner's risk. All shipping costs must be covered by the customer.

Packaging guidelines:

  • Loosen the strings slightly before packing

  • Wrap the instrument in acid-free tissue paper or silk before adding padding

  • Never allow bubble wrap to touch the varnish directly

  • Use a hard case or a well-padded box

  • Clearly label the package as FRAGILE
