We do any work at your instrument, such as repairs or custom builds of specific parts that can caused by wear or by an accident (break) but also by poor or inadequate maintenance and improper storage.

Even, within some tasks, we re-set (set-up) you instrument, always under your special needs.

At any level’s musician.

The “right” instrument is always necessary for the professional or amateur musician, but also for the novice/apprentice one. While the “skilled” musician is more often aware of his needs, by lack of experience, this cannot be true for someone who makes his first steps into the world of music. Therefore, special care is given to him, so that he can have a “tool” on his hands that will not only help him to develop his playing, but also predisposes him to engage more each time he has to study.

In each and every case, through our discussion on your needs, and according to your instrument’s condition and the work that is needed, we find the best solution that can be achieved.
