Whether you need a simple repair or a complete restoration, our violin repair shop has the expertise and skill to get the job done right.
*Remember, if you’re not local to schedule an appointment, you can always ship your instrument or bow to us for any needed repair work.
Custom Repairs & Restoration
Payton Violins offers a complete range of violin repair, bow repair, and restoration services. Our trained luthiers are comfortable working on all levels of instruments and repairs. We have a wealth of experience to draw on to carefully repair and restore your instrument or bow. We provide a full range of repair and restoration services, including: bridge replacement, neck grafts, breast patches, corner replacement, sound post adjustments, bow rehairing, and much more.
Appraisals & Consignments
Many customers have instruments whose origin or value is unclear or have an instrument which requires an updated appraisal. Using our in-house expertise, we will evaluate your instrument to identify its origin and offer our opinion on the current value. We can also evaluate what repairs are needed, if any, and provide you a free, detailed estimate of repair options and costs.
Hassle-Free Financing
Purchasing an instrument is a sound investment that will, with proper care, maintain its value over time. Our Sound Investment Guarantee offers affordable financing options and even allows you to trade-in an instrument or bow previously purchased from Payton Violins and apply the credit towards an instrument upgrade.
