Some Typical Jobs and Prices
This is a selection of some of the jobs I am frequently asked to do. Please contact me with details of the work your instrument needs, so I can give you an estimate of the cost.
Please Note: These prices are given as a rough guide - actual costs may vary according to the actual condition of the instrument, and severity of any problem. I am happy to give a quote before commencing work.
Unless otherwise stated, prices are for labour only and do not include the cost of parts, materials, or strings.
I normally fit good quality "Generic" strings, of the required gauge. If you would like a specific brand fitted, please let me have a set when you drop the instrument off.
