Robert A Grummitt - Repairer & Restorer

A unique violin family repairer. He also has much experience with guitars having made one for Peter Green. Very skilled and at a very reasonable price.

Real excellent quality work, very reasonable rates and nice chap to boot! he is currently restoring my 6th or 7th 60's original guitar, he is that good.

Worth visiting even if your not a musician! Dickensian little shop. Great workmanship too.

Took daughters antique violin in for finger board repair. Very knowledgeable man. Amazing job violin sounds 1000 times better and she can now progress with her grades with her beloved instrument.

Whilst taking the violin into the shop we also took sons 12 string guitar to be set up. Son is so thrilled he is now planning to take the rest of his collection to Bob for setting up!

He may be a man working on his own but wow what a talent he has changed both instruments phenomenally. Didn’t know what to expect price wise as never previously had instruments serviced or repaired but the price was very competitive and well within budget.

Finding a luthier who you trust with your instrument is the best thing you can do. We will be trusting him with all our string instruments in the future

Thank you

Excellent craftsman and instrument expert. Restored and re-fretted by convert George Love Guitar, which now has it's sound back. Also restored my Howe-Orme guitar- I thought is was a hopeless situation. It now plays beautifully. He sells excellent student model cellos and lovingly restores all types of string instruments.I recommend him for cello students in particular looking for their first "upgraded" cello for grade 5+.
Guitars need servicing regularly like other strings- yet even concert players rarely have this done. Bob is the answer to giving your concert instruments a new lease of life. He has mine!

Great place for all string instruments repairs! Knowledgeable owner. Good prices.

Bob is simply the best. For many years I have taken my violin and viola bows to Bob for re-hairing and my violin and viola for repairs and valuations. Bob has also beautifully restored a number of other violins I have taken to him. I have bought a violin and viola bow from him as well. Highly recommended.

Lovely little shop and very experienced guy
