Libby Summers founded Stamford Strings in 2019 to provide Stamford and the surrounding area with servicing, repairs, restoration and sales of instruments of the string quartet. She draws on the expertise of other luthiers trained at Newark School of Violin Making with the aim to eventually form a cooperative.

Workshop Services


​Every instrument is unique, just as every player's technique, style and preferences are unique. 
Whatever your queries, concern or request, we are here to listen and help. If we can't help, we will say so and point you to someone who can. We will give an honest appraisal of your instrument, and offer to help in the most efficient and comprehensive way possible. However, sometimes the cost needs to be weighted up against the benefit and we can also help you make that decision.

Our services are not all listed in our online shop, as most of them are too bespoke. Whatever your requirement, please contact us and arrange to bring your instrument or bow round to our workshop for an appraisal.
