In the workshop
All repair work and restoration to fine instruments that takes place in our workshop is done to the highest standard and in accordance with traditional workshop methods. These techniques have been established over centuries and can be thanked for the classic instruments that are still with us and making headlines to this day. As a craftsman so dedicated to delivering excellence and perfection, Gerard is himself proud to have featured in national press, radio and to have presented  and performed to live audiences over the years.

Atelierviolins provides an entire range of services and sundries to players and is happy to discuss any individual requirement - no job is too big or small. Here's an overview of the services we offer, though if there is anything you need to improve the health of your instrument or a service you require that you don't see listed here, please contact us to see how quickly we can deliver.  

Damage and Repair
If your violin has been involved in an accident, particularly if it's serious, be sure to collect all pieces and any slithers of wood and bring them to our workshop. The more fragments and shards that you can bring with you, the better - it makes our job easier and keeps the cost of repair low. The violin shown in slide below was reversed over by a car and thankfully all the pieces were in the case, though Gerard still had to insert some new wood when the original was irrecoverable. As you can see, a seamless repair was achieved and the owner was delighted with the finish and sound that were professionally restored.
