The bridge is one of the most vital pieces of the violin. It's height can affect the sound and play-ability, while the curvature can make a violin downright difficult to bow.  I have consulted several luthiers and have found the sweet spot in bridges. This method of cutting them makes them low enough to make them easy on your fingers, while still making them high enough to not mute them. Because I am still an amateur luthier, I am only charging $45 with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

The soundpost is a stick made of pine that sits inside the violin. It is held there by the pressure exerted by the strings on the top. Without it, the violin won't sound right. Additionally, it's absence  will cause the top to warp over time. Sometimes, the soundpost falls out and has to be reset. That can be hard without the right tools or experience. That is where I come in. I have the tools and experience to set the soundpost where it needs to be. Starting at $30 for this service.

Cracks in the top can be created by all sorts of reasons, pressure exerted in the wrong places, changes from hot to cold, too humid or dry, etc. Because there are so many reasons that they can occur, they are very common. Cracks, when treated correctly, have no effect on the sound of the violin. But if they go untreated they can grow larger and seriously harm the instrument. I can provide crack repair at affordable prices so that you don't have to worry about it breaking the budget. Price can vary with crack size, location, and other factors. Please contact me to discuss a price.

Restorations take broken, old instruments and make them playable again. I have performed this to a certain extent on several instruments. I can take broken instruments, do a complete restoration on them and give you a fully functional violin back. This is perfect if you have violins that are emotionally important to you, or even a garage sale find that you want repaired! From a regular luthier, a restoration can be worth thousands. From me it will be a fraction of that price. Please use the email on the contacts page to discuss a price.
