If you're not happy with a standard instrument we can help by listening and turning the instrument in your imagination into one you can touch and play.  We've can also advise on modifications that can be made to your instrument that will make it fit you better while preserving it's value.

We specialize in taking fine instruments that are nearing the end of thier useful lives and bringing them back to full functionality and like-new appearance.  We've actually done this hundreds of times and we can make your treasured instrument what it once was.
