“Repairs were discussed in advance when I dropped off the instrument. These repairs were carried out professionally, successfully, at the cost I expected and in the time frame I was hoping for. Absolutely a positive experience in every way. My grandson is now using the violin, and he is thrilled. Thank you, Claire Givens team!”
