Karim Hourani Luthiery

Karim, is a master at his trade. I purchased a violin and the sound is so beautiful that just the sound alone encouraged my daughter to play more. His pricing is reasonable comparing quality. He is patient, professional, and works well with young ones. Thank you Karim! I would refer anyone interested in string instruments to you.

Karim was very knowledgeable and managed to fix my violin right before my eyes in a very timely manner. He has a great interest and passion for stringed instruments and thanks to his knowledge I learned a lot of new things about my violin as well, despite being an owner of it for the past 15 years. Highly recommend, and I will definitely be contacting Karim whenever the violin needs some work in the future! Thanks Karim!

To date, I've brought several violins in for repair, restoration, and professional setup. Karim goes above and beyond expectations each time! You can trust him with your stringed instrument (we know how hard it is to part with our babies). He's skilled, efficient, knows what he is doing/talking about, and genuinely cares for you and your instrument. For the service you're paying for, it's worth it. I highly recommend him if you want your instrument looking like a beauty and singing the way it's meant to.

Brought in my cello, which had a long list of aches and pains after years of traveling. It needed everything from a new tailpiece, a soundpost adjustment, tightened pegs, and some patching up. Karim worked miracles on it - better work than I've had done by luthiers when I lived in London UK. As someone else mentioned, he's genuinely interested in your instrument and is incredibly knowledgeable. I can't believe how good the cello looks and sounds now.

Amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail, not to mention a stellar guy!

We have been using Karim to service our son's violin for the past 3 years. His talent and expertise in his profession is outstanding. His workshop is pretty cool too with his display of hand tools and his current work in progress. We have used his services for restringing, soundpost adjustments, peg adjustment, bridge replacement and most recently violin assessment for resale. If you really care about your instrument and love your music I suggest you visit Karim Hourani Luthiery.

Brought in my vintage violin to get fixed, Karim did an excellent job, very professional. Highly recommend!
