Repair Fees

Repair fees depend on the condition of the instrument, the parts needed and the complexity of the work.

Simple adjustments may be quicker, while bridge fitting, soundpost work, crack repair, bow rehairing or full setup requires proper inspection. Because every instrument is different, we recommend bringing it in for assessment before confirming the final cost.Simple adjustments may be quicker, while bridge fitting, soundpost work, crack repair, bow rehairing or full setup requires proper inspection.

WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY

Samaira
An absolute lifesaver! I had a broken bow hair on my kid's violin and was in desperate need of repair. But I was so relieved when the luthier at LVL Music Academy, referred by my friend, was able to fix it within a day. Their violin repair service is excellent and highly recommended!
Sze Meen
I had my daughter’s violin serviced at LVL Music Academy and it was an amazing experience! The luthier did a great job with the fingerboard adjustment, soundpost installation and new case.
Alicia Law
Luthier Mr. Alan was really incredibly patient, attentive, and kind. He explained everything clearly The repair was done beautifully; my violin looks and sounds amazing again after years of neglect. He even took the time to teach me how to tune my violin, which I truly appreciated!

FAQ

Do you repair violins, violas and cellos?

Yes. LVL Music Academy provides repair and setup support for violins, violas and cellos, including bow rehairing, bridge work, soundpost adjustment, open seams, cracks, pegs, strings and general maintenance.

Do I need to book an appointment for repair?

We recommend contacting us by WhatsApp before coming down, especially if the repair is urgent or requires luthier inspection. You may also send photos or videos first so we can understand the issue better.

Can you tell the repair cost from photos?

Sometimes we can give a rough indication from photos, but many repairs need physical inspection. Issues such as soundpost position, bridge fitting, open seams, buzzing and structural problems are difficult to judge accurately from photos alone.

How long does violin repair take?

It depends on the repair. Some simple checks or adjustments may be faster, while bow rehairing, bridge fitting, seam work, crack repair or full setup may require more time. We will advise after inspecting the instrument.

Do you provide bow rehairing in Singapore?

Yes. We provide bow rehairing for violin, viola and cello bows. If your bow no longer grips the string properly, has lost too much hair, or feels uneven, it may need to be rehaired.

My violin bridge is leaning. Should I fix it immediately?

Yes. A leaning bridge should be corrected early. If ignored, it may warp, crack or collapse, which can lead to more expensive repair work.

My violin sounds dull. Is it a repair issue or string issue?

It could be either. A dull sound may come from old strings, poor setup, bridge issues, soundpost position, open seams or the instrument itself. We inspect the instrument before recommending repair or string replacement.

Is my old violin worth repairing?

That depends on the instrument’s quality, condition, repair cost and your intended use. We can inspect it and advise honestly whether repair, setup, resale, rental or upgrade makes more sense.

Where is LVL Music Academy located?

LVL Music Academy is located in Bukit Timah, near Beauty World MRT. Our workshop supports violin, viola and cello players across Singapore.

Can LVL help with both repair and instrument upgrade?

Yes. Because LVL has a music school, instrument shop and in-house luthier workshop, we can advise whether your instrument should be repaired, adjusted, restrung, upgraded or replaced.
