Repair/Restore

To last a lifetime, a fine instrument needs periodic maintenance and occasional repairs.  Especially for students who are first learning to play, an instrument in good repair can make all the difference in the enjoyment of learning.

At Henry Bischofberger Violins, through examining and listening to your instrument, Henry can determine if it needs maintenance before any issues become serious.  When it comes to maintenance and repairs, the sooner an irregularity is identified and taken care of, the better it is for the life of the instrument.

With Henry’s expertise, experience, and fully equipped repair shop, he can skillfully repair and maintain your violin, viola, cello, bass or bow.

If you have an instrument in need of complete restoration, Henry would be happy to look at it and discuss its needs with you.  Some instruments are worth restoring and others may not be.  He will give you an honest assessment before beginning your project.

Customer Feedback . . .

"I am blown away by the professionalism and kindness of this business. I came in here today with my 6 yo son (9 months into his violin practice) to have them look at our rental violin (from elsewhere) and troubleshoot a scratchy D sound and potentially switching to a new violin. After watching my son plays "Long Long Ago" Debbie kindly gave him what I would call a mini masterclass and in 5 minutes my son was able to improve right away. We went home with the same violin we came with but with invaluable tips and techniques for producing a beautiful sound on the D string. Thank you so much Debbie for your kindness we will be back when we are ready to make a purchase ??" - J Fani
