Restoration & appraisal

An old violin, viola or cello — inherited or found in the attic — deserves a second life, if the wood and construction allow it. In our Reghin workshop we assess and restore bowed instruments with the same care we put into building a new one.

What we restore

  • Cracks and openings in the top or back
  • Repairs to the neck, fingerboard and bridge
  • Restoration or retouching of the original varnish
  • Replacement of worn fittings — tailpiece, chinrest, nut, bridge
  • Complete setup: sound, action, intonation

How the assessment works

1

Photographs

You send us a few clear photos of the instrument — front, back, ribs and any visible defects.

2

Diagnosis

We examine the condition of the wood, the varnish and the structure, and tell you honestly what can and cannot be repaired.

3

Estimate

You receive an estimate of time and cost, with no obligation — the decision remains entirely yours.

We don't promise fixed prices without seeing the instrument — every repair is different. What we do promise: an honest assessment and the same care as for a new instrument.
