You are on your way to your music lesson or a rehearsal, it is busy on the roads and then it happens, another car bumps into yours. Thankfully you are fine. However, your violin is not. You open the case of your instrument and your heart breaks. Not to worry, it will be fine. Important is to bring the instrument in the case to me or another violin maker as soon as possible. The longer you wait the more the chance of losing little pieces or let surfaces get dirty. In case pieces got lost, new pieces can definitely be added, but best is to always have the originals. Those works take time and patience for me and the musician. To get as an end result the original sound back of your partner, but it is always doable.
