Scroll Repairs

The scroll is an iconic and essential part of every violin family instrument—adding both aesthetic beauty and balance to the instrument. Unfortunately, scrolls are also vulnerable to breakage due to falls or stress at the pegbox. When this happens, repairing the scroll is often preferable to replacing the instrument.

Our scroll repair section covers a wide variety of restoration techniques, from regluing scroll ears to repairing full fractures. These examples from the Callier-Scollard Violin Shop show the detailed steps we take to restore scroll integrity and ensure your instrument plays beautifully again.

In addition to structural work like neck resets and crack repairs, many instruments require specialized attention in other areas. From replacing worn edges and damaged corners to adjusting bridges, crafting custom chinrests, and restoring rare instruments, these services reflect the wide range of repairs offered at Callier-Scollard Violins.
