REPAIRS & SERVICES
Precision work,
in service of the
instrument
A repair should preserve what makes an instrument itself—
while allowing it to play as it should

THE STANDARD
First, understand what the instrument needs
Every instrument is assessed before any work begins. I look at the entire playing system—neck relief, fret surface, action, intonation, string tension and the musician’s own touch.
The recommendation is then made clearly, with the scope and cost confirmed before the work proceeds.
Services
The work is chosen for the instrument in front of me—not from a
predetermined package.

Binding, stainless-steel frets and finished maple fingerboards require additional work and are quoted separately. Prices are confirmed after assessment.
THE APPROACH
Measured precisely
Judged in the hands
Measurements reveal what the instrument is doing. Playing reveals whether the work is finished.
The final decisions are made through both: repeatable precision and the sensitivity developed through years at the bench.
