Service

In order to maintain the optimum playing quality and condition of an instrument, it should not only be treated with care, but should also be inspected regularly. In this way, problems can usually be detected early or even avoided before they lead to serious damage.

Difficult to move pegs can be made light and supple again, the fingerboard can be reconditioned for optimum intonation and small areas can be glued quickly and easily. The focus here is on customer-orientated action in order to find the right service for every instrument.

Sound adjustment

The instrument is the tool of all musicians as the key to perfect sound. The sound of an instrument is influenced by many small details, such as the position of the soundpost or the design of the bridge, the material of the accessories or the choice of strings. These and other factors are considered and corrected when finding the optimal sound of an instrument.

Modification to a left-handed instrument

Auch heute noch sind linkshändige Menschen in der Musik benachteiligt. Nur selten bietet Lehrpersonal den Unterricht „andersherum“ an, und nicht jedes Orchester begrüßt das linkshändige Spielen. Kommt es zur Wahl des Instruments, stehen viel weniger Instrumente zur Auswahl.

Bevor das rechtshändige Spielen jedoch ganz den Spaß am Musizieren nimmt, sollte man man darüber nachdenken, das Spiel auf die natürliche Weise zu erlernen. Da linkshängen Musizierenden ohnehin schon genug Steine auf dem Weg begegnen, biete ich nicht nur den Umbau von Instrumenten an, sondern auch beim Kauf eines meiner Instruments einen Umbau zur Linksspielbarkeit mit einem deutlich geringeren geringeren Aufpreis.

Service for Bows

The bow should also be serviced regularly, as it also needs regular cleaning and, depending on the amount of play, new bow hair approx. every 2 years. Only the finest Mongolian stallion hair is used for this. The leather that protects the stick from wear and tear also becomes thinner over time. Let us show you the different types of leather and decide by feel!

The silver wrapping can also wear out and show signs of ageing. In this case, it can be replaced with the finest silver wire or silver thread on a nylon core. Single or two-tone threads can also be woven in to give your bow a very personal touch.
Minor repairs such as replacing the headstock are also carried out in the workshop.

When do I need new bow hair?

• If you constantly have to add rosin.
• If the response is no longer optimal.
• If you have to exert more and more force when playing.
