Handcrafted Care

As a music teacher in the early 20's, C. B. Perkins taught himself the craft of luthiery in an effort to provide playable instruments to his music students. The second and third generation staff at C.B. Perkins Company continues that tradition by bringing playability back to old instruments by way of restoration.

We take a very traditional approach to restoring vintage instruments, retaining as much of the original character of the instrument as possible. Whenever feasible, we utilize the same techniques and processes the original builders used, ensuring an old school attention to detail and respect for the instrument and its history.

In addition to being one of the most rewarding aspects of this business, restorations are also the most time-consuming, meticulous and delicate operations we perform. Because of the delicate and valuable nature of the instruments, we accept only a small number of restorations per year.

If you feel your instrument warrants restoration, please contact us; we can give you an honest assessment of the instrument and its needs.
