CHOStrings offers repair and restoration services for violins, violas, and cellos, from routine adjustments and setup work to more involved structural repairs. Each instrument is evaluated individually, with careful attention to playability, tone, and long-term stability.
Because every instrument and repair is different, restoration and major repair work is quoted individually after examination. Please get in touch to discuss your instrument or to schedule an evaluation.
