This shop specializes in expert repair and set-up of the family of Indian classical instruments which use “jawari”: Sitar, Surbahar, Rudra Veena, Tambura and the like.
I also do limited repair work on other Indian instruments such as Saraswati Veena, Sarod, Santor, Dilruba, Esraj, and Sarangi.

I provide repair services such as re-finishing or repairing french polish, restoring broken or smashed gourds, replicating or replacing missing or damaged parts, etc. 
(You can see some of my restoration work on the gallery page).

Expert in the different styles of jawari as appropriate to the different
playing traditions (ie. Ravi Shankar, Nikhil Banerjee, Vilayat Khan...)
and instrument families (ie. Sitar, Tambura and Rudra Veena) I provide custom re-voicing of instruments, bridge work, re-stringing, set-up, etc.

I also offer custom elements of my own make such as sitar bridges 
and tail-pieces.


Here is a PDF  of a more thorough list of what I have to offer along with prices for most usual repair work.
You are invited to contact me for a quote or any questions.
