Question

How much do people who repair violins and other stringed instruments make?

Answer 1

it depends on the repair on the violin. for instance, replacing a violin string or a soundpost can go for $30. some people even go to specialists to get their violins tuned. -.- that is some quick money. for major repairs, often involving the interior of string instruments and its sound, you can charge in the hundreds, especially if the violin is expensive and needs a delicate touch.
