Violin Setup & Adjustment Luthiers.

Setup is what separates an instrument that plays from an instrument that sings. A skilled setup luthier cuts and fits a new bridge, sets the soundpost, dresses the fingerboard, fits pegs, adjusts string height and matches the strings to the instrument — and then voices the whole package to the player. None of that is glamorous and most of it is invisible, which is why setup is one of the most undervalued services in the field.

The luthiers in this section are specifically known for setup and adjustment work. If your instrument feels stiff, the tone is uneven, or you have just bought something new and want it played-in properly, start here.
