Tonal Adjustments

This is where the word "first-class" means what it says. Only a really great shop --with professional luthiers and top-notch acoustic technicians -- has the resources to accurately diagnose the symptoms and effect the appropriate adjustments on those fine quality stringed instruments and bows which mean so much to you. This is truly the heart and soul of the violin maker’s art. Having the ability to see a coherent picture and sense the optimum balance between projection and depth, tone color and ringing clarity -- despite variations in wood grain, varnishes, strings, bridges, neck angles and historical construction techniques -- is a lifelong passion whose ultimate reward is the satisfaction and understanding that, at last, the best has been achieved.

We can advise you how to get the sound you are looking for from your instrument. Just bring it in for a free inspection whenever you like. (Please let us know in advance so that you're not kept waiting.
