John Jordan is currently  accepting repair work on violin family instruments and bows only. Everything from minor adjustments to major restorations and repairs.
It is no longer practical for John to continue offering repairs on guitars and similar fretted instruments and still concentrate on instrument making. The decision to continue to offer violin repair was made based of the lack of nearby shops that offer such a full range of violin repair services, and John's decades of service to this community. The demand for the instruments John builds have made it impractical to also run a busy repair shop for "anything with strings".  There are other shops in the area offering guitar repair at a high skill level. One of John's former employees Mark Miller currently runs MSM Music Services in Orinda, CA offering fine quality guitar repair and warranty service for Martin and other brands . Mark Miller can be reached on his cell phone at (415) 336-3183.
When John was running a multi employee shop, John and his employees repaired thousands of instruments every year. We have done everything from minor adjustments on new instruments to an extensive restoration on a 1591 Zanetto cello. We have experience with all the familiar stringed instruments as well as unusual ethnic instruments. We have been known to say; "If you bring us the tuning peg, we can rebuild the instrument that it fits". While no one has ever taken us up on that offer, we have done some highly complex restorations that come  rather close to that description.
