Wairarapa Violins
Contact: wairarapa.violins@yahoo.com
I hope you enjoy violins as much as I do.
I repair and restore violins using traditional techniques, woods and varnishes.
The adjacent photo is a recent repair of an instrument which required edge and belly repairs and refinishing as it came to me sans varnish. I used a Sheldon and Harris ground under a traditional oil varnish for the new finish.
I also offer a bow re-hairing service.
I highly recommend gut strings by Dan Larsen. His gut and wound gut strings are my favourite and give that full gut sound. I also recommend resin by Andrea Bang. Links to these will be added shortly.
Please email me with any enquiries.
