Wear and tear, climatic influences, accidents – there are many factors, which may affect an Indian musical instrument. More often than not, professional repair, maintenance and restoration work will help you to really enjoy your instrument again.
Stevies Sitar Services offers common services at the fixed prices given below.

With competitive prices, attention to detail and a conscientious knowledge and empathy surrounding the philosophy of Indian stringed instruments, we at Stevie's Sitar Services, coupled with our lutherie skills aim to bring life back to your instrument.

For more complex repairs, like e.g. broken gourd or wood, paintwork damage or difficult mechanical problems we charge £20 per hour.
Stevies Sitar Services will be glad to give you a non-binding estimate for extensive repairs. For that we will need a precise list of desired works - if possible including photos in jpg format.

All repair, maintenance and restoration orders have to be discussed with us in advance face to face, messenger or by email.

We will be glad to provide you with any further information.
