String Instrument Repair


Because these instruments are so delicate that even changing a single small part can alter their tone, our skilled craftsmen meticulously repair and adjust every detail.
In Japan, where seasonal temperature and humidity fluctuations are extreme, string instruments crafted from delicate wood require seasonal maintenance.
Depending on the repair or adjustment required, some time will be needed. Please feel free to consult us about repairs not listed on the price list, or repairs and adjustments for instruments like cellos and double basses.
We strive for meticulous workmanship so our customers can always use their instruments with confidence in optimal condition.
