    GOOD TO KNOW
    Every acoustic guitar has its own character, history, and sensitivities. No two instruments are alike, and each repair calls for a tailored approach. For specialised repair and restoration work, I charge an hourly rate of €70 (incl. 21% VAT, excluding parts). The prices listed above serve as a guideline; the final cost always depends on the condition and specific needs of your instrument. I take the time to carefully assess each guitar and discuss with you what is truly needed to bring it back to its best possible sound and playability.

    WARRANTY & SERVICE
    Quality work takes time, care, and attention — and I stand by it. That’s why all my work comes with a warranty. If within 4 weeks after completion you feel that something still needs fine adjustment, I will take care of it free of charge.
    (Please note: normal wear of parts such as strings is not covered under warranty.)
