Often a world of difference: better material gives a better sound. Not to mention the enormous detuning caused by faulty material. But also often factory top combs or bridge bones are not properly filed or adjusted.

• Replace nut / bridge bone with real bone 45 euros

Don't feel like doing that yourself? Or just don't have time for it? Of course we are very skilled in this and the strings are set up in the very best way and in such a way that there is as little detuning as possible (as far as the instrument allows).
Replacing strings (excluding strings) 10 euros

Are your frets worn out? Deep pits in the frets or damage that prevents it from playing smoothly? Do a few stick out? Unfortunately, it's all too common that even on new and expensive instruments the fretwork is just not finished well enough, or even finished too hastily, making it feel sharp and chunky. Do you want absolute certainty in that regard? We can offer you that! We look at your fretwork very closely and give you good advice. Good fretwork is an absolute must for the most optimal tuning.

The worst thing that can happen to an instrument. Cracks in necks, resonance boxes, heads that break off, bridges that come loose and more. You can contact us to have your instrument repaired. Now it is very difficult to give a list of prices for this, because every damage is different and needs a separate approach. It is therefore best to come by with your instrument for an exact quotation. A very good tip: Should something like this happen, carefully remove the string tension from the instrument, so loosen the strings slowly, but do not take them off. Pack your instrument well, just to make sure the damage doesn't get any worse.
