SERVICES & REPAIRS
Vintage Instruments is a center for fine instruments and craftsmanship. Pierre Moisy is the Director of Violin Workshop operations for our shop. Classically trained at the Lycee Jean Baptiste Vuillaume in the art of violin making and restoration, Mr. Moisy has worked in various studios in Europe, including the renowned Maison Bernard Huis in Brussels, Belgium. We also have a selection of Mr. Moisy's violins available for trial.

Our workshop is also a base for Elizabeth Vander Veer Shaak and Raffaello Stefanini. Bowmaker Elizabeth Vander Veer Shaak makes bows in the tradition of the early 19th Century, and also repairs bows for violin family instruments. Raffaello Stefanini was trained by Otello Bignami in Bologna, Italy, and has worked in the United States since 1983. "Rafe" is also an accomplished Old-Time fiddler with recordings on the Rounder and County record labels and others. Appointments for Ms. Shaak and Mr. Stefanini should be scheduled by calling them in the workshop at 215-545-9860.
