Violin, Viola & Cello Repair Workshops.
Most of the work that comes through a luthier's door is repair: an open seam after a dry winter, a bridge that has warped forward, pegs that will not hold, a crack that needs closing before it grows. This section lists workshops that take that day-to-day repair work on violins, violas and cellos, alongside the more specialised restoration of older instruments.
If something on your instrument has changed — buzzing, a leaning bridge, strings that feel higher than they did, a seam you can slide paper into — have it looked at early. Small repairs are cheap; the same damage left for a year rarely is.
