A master repair craftsman. Set ups by appointment while you wait.
Mr. Nazareth was so helpful educating me and guiding me on my path to re-learn the violin. I still have a very long journey ahead of me, but with such a knowledgeable gentleman offering his services, I am confident I will get there soon. Thank you again for your services🙏🏽
If you are a Violinist on this planet - Earth, and your Violin needs any kind of repair or tune up - Nazareth Gevorkian is the repairman for you. He is a Master times 10.
I’ve been a guitar repair guy since 1977. A guy brought me a violin to install a new bridge and restring it. I ordered a bridge blank and bought strings. The sound post was loose in the violins case.
While looking online for the proper tool to install the sound post I found a video of a Violin manufacturer’s employee explain ing haw to install a bridge.
I found that there was a lot more to it than I thought. I wanted this to turn out right for the son of the guy who brought it to me. The thickness of the bridge is a big deal and I didn’t know what it should be etc. it was out of my realm of experience.
I took the Violin to Mr Gavorkian. I liked him instantly and could tell he was an experienced professional with a long history of Violin repair.
Yeah big deal, they’re all probably experienced right?
No Nazareth Gavorkian is talented and gifted! This isn’t just a Violin repair guy. Nazareth Gavorkian walks on water regarding anything to do with a violin. Seriously!! He raised the one I brought him from the dead.
I’ve repaired too many guitars to count or remember in my life. I know quality instrument repair when I see it. Mr. Gavorkian’s work and talent is beyond that.
Everything he did is so finely done, the precision is amazing. The quality is beyond description.
His prices are half of what they should be for the extreme precision. He took a $40 Violin and in 3 days made it a $1,000 Violin.
The child whose Violin it is showed the instrument to the teacher he will be learning from. She played it and immediately said “Where did you get this?
The boys dad said” it’s the same one I showed you in need of repair a few weeks ago. We just got it back from repair. She said it sounds “amazing”. Also used the words it has a “rich sound” to it and kept drawing the bow across the open G string and saying “amazing”.
Mr. Gavorkian’s talent and work is exceptional to say the least! Don’t go anywhere else.
Mr. Gevorkian, has amazing prices, does even better work then even expected. I am truly shocked that he did such an amazing job. Don't go to violin shops in the area to repair, replace, or to just simply buy anything. He's got everything and he's masterfully skilled. Thank you Mr. Gevorkian!
Nazareth did a beautiful job of planing the fingerboard, and adjusting the bridge and sound post on my violin. It plays so much more easily now and sounds great!
Thank you Nazareth!
