For over 35 years I have been serving the needs of string professionals and aspiring musicians alike. Trained in the German school of instrument restoration, I have earned the privilege of being considered the most trusted source for instrument purchases, repair and restoration in the Inland Northwest. My current customers include Principles in both the Spokane and Coeur d'Alene Symphonies, National Old Time Fiddle Grand National Champions and numerous internationally known fiddlers and violinists.

Restoration
Report
Musical instruments have the ability to live for hundreds of years, and it is with that thought that we can view our ownership of them as temporary. Violin Works employs a wide range of techniques, tools and skills to complete all violin, viola and cello repairs and restorations to the highest degree.
Sound Adjustment
Report
The bridge and the soundpost of the violin have symbiotic acoustical and mechanical functions for transmitting the strings' vibration to the body of the instrument and modifying the flex of both top and back plates. The chief function of a violin's bridge is to transform the motion of the vibrating string into periodic driving forces which are applied by the feet to the top plate of the violin. The chief function of the soundpost is to temper the movment of the top and transfer vibrations to the back while also tempering it's movement.
My Story/Video

The word "luthier" refers to one who builds, repairs, or restores, stringed instruments. James Kytonen has had over 30 years of experience honing his craft and in this short documentary, you will be given the opportunity to explore his workshop and learn what it means to work and live an art which has changed little over hundreds of years.
