Bolton Instruments Repairs

Violin Repairs

“Our violin repairs focus on maintaining the delicate balance between playability, tone and structural integrity. When a violin is correctly repaired and set up, it becomes chromatically easier to play, more responsive under the fingers and capable of producing a fuller, more balanced tone.”

Violin Repairs - Broken Violin, string instrument repairs at Booths

At Booths Music, our string instrument repairs cover a wide range of instruments, including violins, violas, cellos and other orchestral stringed instruments. We work with great care and precision, understanding that even small adjustments can have a significant impact on playability and sound quality.

Violin Repairs With Booths

Regular violin repairs and maintenance help prevent long-term damage and keep the instrument performing at its best, whether for a beginner or an advanced player. Violins respond dramatically to small adjustments, so accurate setup and careful repair work are essential. Common violin repairs include soundpost adjustment, bridge work, seam regluing, crack repairs and fingerboard dressing. As part of our string instrument repairs service, we ensure that the violin speaks clearly across all positions, with improved intonation, response and comfort for the player.

Bow Rehairs

As part of our violin repairs service, we also offer professional bow rehairing for this instrument as well as the viola and cello. A worn or uneven bow hair can significantly affect tone production, control and responsiveness, making playing more difficult than it needs to be.

We now advise bow rehairing primarily for higher-quality bows, using only the finest horsehair and proven professional techniques. Each rehair is carried out with care and precision, ensuring even tension, correct alignment and reliable performance across the full length of the bow.

A freshly rehaired bow improves grip on the string, enhances articulation and allows the player to draw a clearer, more controlled sound from their instrument. Combined with regular string instrument repairs and maintenance, professional bow rehairing helps ensure your entire setup – instrument and bow – performs at its best.

Recent Reviews

After buying a second hand trumpet elsewhere, I took it into the shop and had it cleaned and serviced by Tony, who did an excellent job with it for a very reasonable price. He even took it back into his workshop at no extra cost, a week or so later, when one of the valves was sticking again - and I have had no problems with it since!

"My six year old flute was beginning to sound breathy and it was getting hard to play top notes clearly (I thought it was me). Tony serviced my flute last week. It sounds like a brand new flute! It sings again 🎶. Tony replaced a faulty key pad and sorted out the cork mechanism which was moving around. Thank you so much. I’ll be back again next year for its next service 🙂"
