We do not provide valuations for private sales.

We have an onsite workshop with skilled luthiers who will undertake instrument and bow repairs and restorations.  Following a thorough assessment we will provide a written quote for your approval.  We are happy to provide a replacement instrument or bow whilst yours is in for repair.  Some minor repairs and adjustments including string changes can be carried out while you wait.  Please note that our workshop is not open on a Saturday.

Yes, we offer standard or best quality white rehairs for violin, viola, cello and double bass.  For bass bows we also do black and salt and pepper rehairs.  We are happy to lend you a replacement bow whilst yours is being rehaired.
