Instrument Restoration

The instruments in The Amati Collection have been or are being restored and set up to a very high standard by skilled and experienced Luthiers. Many of our violins and bows have been through the workshop of Peter Ratcliff, in Brighton.

If your instrument requires skilled restoration, repairs, a set up or simple maintenance, follow this link to our main restorer's website, who will be pleased to assist you, or use our Contact page above to get in touch with us and will advise as the nearest of our trusted partners.

We can provide detailed estimates for routine repairs or complete restoration, including conversions to or from Classical and Baroque set ups.
