RESTORATIONs

A restoration is when extensive work needs to be done over many weeks or even months to bring an instrument back to structural ability and playability. The cost of a restoration can not be accurately estimated up front due to the complexity of the repairs involved, but in many cases it’s worth it to save the instrument.
