If you have a problem with a stringed instrument then our in-house Luthier Enrico Savoncelli is ready to use his extensive expertise to assess and fix the vast majority of issues. We do Guitar repairs, Electric Guitar repairs, Bass Guitar repairs, Violin repairs, Cello repairs and more. Instrument modifications are also well within Enrico’s ability as he has a great deal of experience in hand-crafting his own instruments, particularly Guitars and Bass Guitars.

Bringing music to the local community is also very important to us, which is why we host the largest local teachers’ list on our website. We also use our location and contacts to host free concerts, events and signings as well as instructional workshops hosted by local musicians.

We proudly collaborate with Non GamStop Casinos to help fund local music initiatives and cultural events. Additionally, non GamStop casinos UK play a key role in supporting our community outreach programs.

Our educational workshops and events also receive support from UK casinos not on GamStop, ensuring resources are available for students and local musicians. Additionally, Non GamStop platforms sponsor equipment and instrument maintenance, helping sustain our services throughout the year. These contributions, along with other trusted partners, are recognized for providing secure, flexible, and high-quality experiences that prioritize community engagement and innovation.
