Does your guitar, violin, cello, bass, dulcimer, or lute need repair or restoration?  Your stringed instrument may be old and unused, damaged in transit, worn out, unplayable, or just need a part fixed. If so, you’ve come to the right place.  MINT-Instruments can repair or restore your stringed instrument even if it is in pieces, or unplayable, so that it will be as close to mint condition as possible. There’s nothing like seeing your old violin or guitar brought back to life again for a music student, or a seasoned player.

Just because it’s old or damaged, doesn’t mean your instrument can’t  play again.


You may like a guitar that not only different, but has more acoustic projection.


During the Renaissance, the lutes, like the piano, was the predominant instrument.


What if you had your own idea about how your guitar should look? 


Imagine having a dulcimer made that has your own icon carved into the top.


Sometimes you need more sound than natural acoustics -- an electric work of art.


This bass fell down a stairwell and exploded.  After restoration, it plays again.
