We are happy to offer top class restoration and repair in our workshop.

Christian Schabbon has been fortunate to work with Florian Leonhard Fine Violins for more than six years  as Workshop Manager. He has been entrusted with the most valued Italian master instruments.

We guarantee to repair, restore and finish your instruments to the highest possible standard.

Methods of selling are either consignment sale or direct purchase. I  am happy  to offer a personalized service, promoting your instrument as much as possible.For a consignment sale, I usually ask for a minimum sale period of six months, which may be automatically extended. The fee is calculated on a 20% basis, with a net amount guaranteed to the seller. For instruments in the higher price ranges, the fee will be reduced.

Overseas customers are most welcome.  There are many  reasons why you should look for an instrument or bow in London, as is the world center of the violin trade, and you could potentially  benefit from the competitive prices that I can offer.

Antique instruments are restored to the highest standards, and particular care is applied on optimizing the sound. All instruments are sold with a certificate of authenticity.

New instruments are made from well seasoned first class tone woods, handmade with particular care from the first to the last step.

All instruments are sold with a 100% trade in guarantee in case of an upgrade to a higher class instruments.

Please rely on my experience to determine the value of your instrument or bow, whether for your insurance or for  your own records.
