I offer a restoration service for private costumer as well as for museums. Because each project is unique, I adapt the wish of the guitar player or the institute. I work on the preserving of instruments, but also the preparation for display and the renovation for playability. I respect the deontology and ethics of preservation of heritage objects.
You can find several examples of works I realized underneath.
