REPAIRS & RESTORATIONS

All repairs and restorations are performed in our shop by our own staff. No work is sent out to subcontractors. You can come and watch us working on your instrument. Any major restorations (which require the removal of the top and or neck) undertaken in our work-shop are guaranteed for as long as you own the instrument.

BOW REHAIRING & RESTORATION

We pride ourselves on the meticulous care and attention we give to every instrument. All our repair and maintenance work is performed using only the highest quality horse hair and replacement parts, ensuring superior performance of your instrument. 

PURCHASE OF INSTRUMENTS

Our shop always seeks quality violin family instruments and bows. If you have an instrument or bow you wish to sell, you have two options: trade it in for one of our instruments or sell it directly to us for immediate cash. Both options offer a straightforward and professional process, ensuring you get the best value for your instrument or bow.

CONSIGNMENTS

Atelier String Shop welcomes consignments! Our knowledgeable staff will carefully evaluate and appraise your instrument, ensuring it receives the attention and market exposure it deserves. With our reputation for quality and our extensive network of musicians and collectors, we provide an excellent platform to find the right buyer for your cherished instrument.

RENTALS

Our program is designed with students of all ages and levels in mind. Our rental instruments are of highest quality, (predominately) European made, the same instruments that we have in our sales inventory. Each instrument is expertly adjusted and in top playing condition. Additional adjustments are provided free of charge. Our rental to purchase program offers the option to apply the rental fee towards the purchase of any of our instruments in accordance with our sliding schedule. A 10% discount off the initial price will be applied if the rental instrument is purchased within the first 3 months of the rental period. We offer trade up from size to size at any time.

APPRAISALS

An appraisal is a document that gives a description of the instrument or bow, and gives an expert's opinion of its fair replacement value. These documents are accepted by insurance companies as evidence of value but not as proof of ownership. Instruments are appraised for a flat fee, and never for a percentage of the value of the instruments. Our fee is $100 for a verbal appraisal, $250 for a written document. Updates are $100. $50 to reissue an existing document. Appraisals are provided gratis whenever an instrument is purchased in our store.
