Your violin - your cello
An extension of your body
For a musician, the relationship with their instrument becomes so intimate, that it ends up being an extension of their body and the window for their soul.
Day after day, the musician and the instrument evolve and develop one into the other, growing together, adapting and responding to each other. This relationship might last for decades, and might be the most important relationship of the life of a musician.
For that reason, it is important to keep your instrument in good shape.

Customized care for your instrument
If you are looking for a place where your instrument will have a special and customized care, you just found the perfect place. As a musician and also a professionally trained violin maker and restorer I understand both the needs of the musician and the mechanics of the instruments, finding the sweet spot of each instrument for your specific need.
I understand all the playing techniques are not the same, all the bows are not the same and all the violins are not the same. There are some standard references in the measurements of the stringed instruments, but depending on the needs of the musician, I can customize some of the works done on your instrument to fit your needs. The final adjustment will be done with you playing your violin or your cello in my workshop to ensure your total satisfaccion.

You just had an accident with your violin or cello?
NO WORRIES! I'VE GOT YOUR BACK!
Find all the pieces if the violin is broken in few pieces, even the smallest bits, keep them in a safe and protected container and come to le violon rouge nz for a free check and an estimate.
Depending on the accident, it might be safer to loosen the strings immediately after the accident. To find out what to do in your case, call me (+64) 0210604360.
The beauty of the violin family is that generally everything can be fixed.
Some accidents might look very dramatic, but are not necessarily a big deal. For example, a fingerboard coming loose and falling while playing.
Do not try to fix anything by yourself, the violins and cellos are designed to last for many centuries if they are repaired in the right way. The sooner you come after the accident, the easier the repair will be and the instrument will most likely keep all its acoustic qualities and playability.
