Repairs, Restoration & Setup
We offer a complete range of services from the repair or setup of new beginners’ & children’s instruments right through to fine restoration for the professional player.
Our quotes always reflect the differing requirements for a beginner, intermediate and professional player.

Beginner / Children’s Instruments
We firmly believe that beginners & children should receive new instruments that are completely correctly adjusted before use.
Manufacturers often ship new beginner / children’s instrument in a poorly setup state and unlike many online retailers / instrument dealers, we never sell instruments until they have been properly checked and setup.
We do not sell any new child’s or beginner instrument until it has been checked for its suitability & adjusted appropriately for its playability.
