Bow Repair & Rehair
Bow repair and rehair services are available for bows of the violin family. Cleaning and polishing the bow and lubricating the frog eyelet are included with every rehair.
We are a traditional full-service workshop because only a craftsman's insight can provide the best care and maintenance for your bows. We select the best materials for matching the particular mother-of-pearl replacement eye or slide for a historically important bow.
We use the best available horse hair.
Rehairs are rosined with premium rosin unless otherwise requested by the customer.
Tip Repair
Presently, Fiber Paper is the best material for making Tip Liners.
Regulations are changing on a daily basis, and in order to not promote the use of any material which too closely mimics another which is illegal, I WILL discontinue using both Mammoth Tips and Bone Tips when my inventory is exhausted.
Instrument Repair and Restoration
The Rococo Violin Shop offers professional repair and restoration procedures for violins, violas, cellos, and basses. We select the best materials respecting both the makers' work and the traditional processes.
Your Relationship With Your Luthier
Develop an ongoing relationship; Careful maintenance of your instrument and bow by a skilled luthier will ensure not only their longevity but also their monetary value.
Please schedule an appointment with one of our qualified luthiers to have your instrument and set-up evaluated.
To Repair or Not To Repair
Should you invest in repairs on your instrument?
We can help you decide whether or not to undertake repair or restoration of your instrument or bow.
Instrument Set-up and Tonal Adjustment
Custom set-ups and tonal adjustments can be made to your violin, viola, cello, or bass to optimize its tone and playability potential.
