At Gammuto Violins we do our very best to provide accurate, and fair estimates. The following is a guide to what you can expect to pay for professional services rendered. Of course, many problems may not be apparent to the untrained eye, and this is where our experience works to your advantage. It will be necessary for you to bring your instrument to the shop for evaluation, and a written estimate. If this is not possible, we can assist you in shipping the instrument to us for this purpose.
Only the very best materials; i.e., bridges, strings, and set-up accessories are used on all instruments entrusted to us for repair. We can also work with you to fine tune your instrument, and get the most out of it.
