Workshop & Repairs

Like the great violin shops of the past, a violin shop’s reputation is not only due to their collection of instruments and bows, but also the quality of lutherie from its workshop. The names of the heads of workshops are almost as famous as the shops themselves.

Headed by award winning Master Luthier, Haide Lin, our workshop does only the highest quality work, whether simply gluing an open seam, performing tone adjustments, or the complex restoration of a fine old Italian violin. This is why string players trust Ifshin Violins with the care and upkeep of their instruments and bows.

We are proud of our talented team of luthiers. With decades of experience in the craft of violin making, repairs, and restoration, we apply the same level of care and expertise to everything that passes through our workshop, whether you are a professional, collector, or amateur.

If your violin, viola, cello, bass, or bow is in need of repair, give us a call at 510-843-5466 or email us at info@ifshinviolins.com. We’re happy to discuss how we can help.

Bow work, including rehairs, are by appointment only.
