In our workshop, you'll find the same tools, techniques and materials that have been employed in instrument making and repair for the last three centuries. For a glossary of terms click here.

Work undertaken ranges from instrument set-up to general maintenance and bow-rehairing to complete instrument restoration. Most of the work is handled in-house but where appropriate, for instance with certain bow repairs, outworkers are employed who are experts in their field.

Estimates for repairs and restorations are free of charge but visiting by appointment is strongly recommended - just phone us on 01462 426012 or email sales@strings.co.uk.

Our workshop plays a key role in the maintenance programme of the Benslow Musical Instrument Loan Scheme which entrusts the care of its instruments to us.
