This shop doesn't focus on repair work, but we do repairs and restorations as requested so long
as we think they are worthwhile.   For example, we won’t strip and refinish a fine old violin for you
just because you don’t like the color!  

Also: if the repair is worth doing, it's going to be done right.  If we're not sure how to do it well
enough, then we'll work to find someone who is appropriately experienced.  For example, we're
not going to pop the top off your Stradivari for you.  

CALL STEVE if you'd like to talk about a repair - that's the best way to find out what we can
do for you

Gianna Violins permission to use subcontractors, including permission to ship to and from
subcontractors.

repair charges including parts, labor, subcontractor charges, shipping, and other charges that
may reasonably arise.  Owner agrees that Gianna Violins may undertake reasonable and related
repairs of modest cost that were not initially planned for, such as replacing an endpin, fixing bad
pegs, replacing a soundpost.

retain the article in question and treat as unclaimed under Tennessee Code 66-14-101 et seq..

For commercially available components used in repairs, contact individual manufacturers for
warranty service procedures.

intended to improve performance and response.  These processes are inherently variable and
have different effects on different instruments.  Gianna Violins will competently perform steps and
processes that generally and consistently provide changes in performance that players generally
report are improvements.  Owners agree that disappointment at the kind or amount of
improvement is not a breach of contract or warranty and does not represent a cause of action.
