Service and Repairs
Work in progress!
On this site you can find the average pricing for known repairs and service jobs on your instruments.
The necessary time for repairs and services ranges between 1 to 8 weeks depending on the workload in my workshop.
For immediate treatment of your instrument I charge extra on most prices. In this case many repairs can be done in one day or less.
The regular pricing is calculated with 60 € per hour. All additional work will be charged by this rate.
