    Repairwork

    imgAt Master Hand Violin Shop, we have a reputation for the highest quality repairs around. We are one of only a couple stores in the entire Virginia area that performs any needed repair on violins, violas, cellos, basses, and bows. As we are a local business, all repairs are completed at our store; we never send out. In most cases, the instrument needing repair will need to remain at the shop for a few days; occasionally repairs can be done while you wait. The length of time for a repair to be completed depends on the repair itself and our current workload. Loaner instruments or bows are available for use while an instrument is being repaired.
