Repair Estimates
While we never charge for estimates on routine repairs such as new bridges or rehairs, complex restorations of antique and badly damaged instruments necessitate a significant time commitment to estimate. As a result, we charge a nominal fee of $25.00 for repair estimates. Should the customer elect to proceed with all or part of the estimated repairs, this $25.00 fee will be credited towards repair costs, making the estimate free.
Included in repair estimates will be a complete list of all repairs necessary to bring the instrument into the best possible playing condition. After making a complete list of necessary repairs, we can work with customers who are on a budget to determine which repairs are absolutely necessary and which can be put off until later.
