This is a Treble Viol DaGamba made as part of my course work
 

A Cello during repair. It had a loose fingerboard and a broken bridge.
 

 

Currently I maintain my own instruments, a few friends instruments, and stringed Instruments in for service at Bridges & Bows (a violin shop in Westford, Massachusetts.

Here are photographs of a 3/4 size violin restoration.


This 3/4 size violin was in terrible condition with open seams, an open endblock and a detached fingerboard. After a few hours of TLC it came to life and is used by a young student.

 Some of the  work my Custom Shop produced.
