All restoration and repairs are done by Craig Scollard, right here in the front room of the shop—which, as you can see, sometimes gets a bit crowded when too many cellos and basses arrive at once! I recently added a macro lens to my phone, so some of the close-up repair photos should look a little sharper moving forward. Below are a few quick photos, including a very enlarged dime to test the lens. At Callier-Scollard Violins, we specialize in a wide variety of repairs and restoration techniques for violin-family instruments. From detailed structural work—like crack repairs, block reinforcements and neck adjustments—to cosmetic restoration and fine-tuning setups, the examples below showcase decades of hands-on experience. The repair topics are grouped by type, so you can easily explore the techniques that match your instrument’s specific needs. - Violin Repair and Restoration...

I have a rather unconventional instrument that needs the sound post put in. For all intents and purposes the instrument is 1/4 cello mixed with a guitar. Anyway, the instrument was shipped to me with the sound post removed and I need it put back in. I live near Alhambra and looking to have this done as soon as possible. What are your hours? How much do you charge for this? I will also have a bass viola da gamba that will arrive in the next few weeks that I imagine will need the same service.
Sure bring the cello/guitar in and I'll take a look. Most likely I can put the soundpost back in, but I really need to see it first.

"The satisfaction of the instinct of workmanship is good; for that instinct is the noblest thing in man after love, from which indeed it springs. Just to do your best at any cost, and afterward to experience something of the Seventh Day glory when you look upon your work and see that it is good."
Thank you,

I recently acquired a used violin that is in need of some TLC. Can you please send me a list of your pricing? I could possibly be interested in several different repairs, but I also don't want to spend a fortune since the violin is not that good quality to begin with. Here are some of the things I'm interested in: clean up , bow rehair, repairing a few unsightly chips, changing the chin rest, changing bridge, restringing.
thank you,
Audrey
