My violin was sounding pretty terrible; long over-due for Peter Prier & Sons to take a look at it. It needed a bow rehair, sound post adjustment and shim, finger-board planing, new set of strings, a french polish (having the wood clean actually enhances the sound) and cosmetic repair to prevent further, more extensive damage. It was super expensive - just about doubled our family's Christmas budget. But my violin sounds so wonderful now and it was oh, so worth it. What a huge difference a little maintenance can do. A really great way to start out 2011!
