Luthier services

Our staff of professionally trained luthiers are available for repairs and restorations for your violin, viola, cello, bass and bows. We charge reasonable rates and do our best to turn items around in a timely manner. Current rental customers have maintenance and repairs included in their rental payment and can utilize these services for their rental instrument at no additional charge.

The best way to get started with luthier work is to schedule a repair consultation at the shop. We will assess the instrument or bow, provide you with a quote for the work and the estimated completion date.

If you are not located near our Cincinnati shop, you can ship instruments to us for repair - please call to discuss repairs prior to shipping your instrument or bow.
