We’ve got merch! While it might seem odd for an organization like ours to have merch, every little bit of income helps provide a great experience for our participants. So, help out your favorite restorers and show your support! Link in bio!

Hello all! We’ve had some cancellations, which now gives a golden opportunity to those who were thinking about attending the workshop but thought it was too late:
.
The Restoration Workshop has a few openings due to cancellations for instrument restorers and bow restorers to join us in our new home at the beautiful Clerestory at the Pajama Factory In Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Dates for this years workshop are June 15 through the 21st.

Guest Instructors Greg Sapp, Stacey Styles, and Pete Oxley will be joining the usual team of staff instructors in a collaborative workshop environment. Costs for the week are $1100 for tuition which covers a evening meal, and $640 for the week for housing at the historic Genetti Hotel. A better than average breakfast is included with the hotel, lunch is on your own.

For more information and to apply, please visit our website at www.alirestoration.com, or email Jerry Lynn at jhlviolins@gmail.com

An absolutely superb job of grafting a new volute done at the 2024 workshop by @chenhanwuviolins and staff instructor @matthewnoykos.
.
There are many ways to accomplish this, however given the contained area of the damage, it was decided that great results could be had by machining out a pocket for a turned same grain “bushing.”
.
There are still a few openings left for the 2025 workshop. Link in bio to apply. For more information you can email JHL@alutherie.com

The Restoration Workshop has always made a point of exposing our participants to conservative practices. This comes from a deep understanding that we are only temporary custodians of instruments and bows in our care. Here is an example of 3D scanning and CNC milling carried out by Dmitry Tarakanov and staff instructor/co-director Jerry Lynn. This intervention allows for a stable joint between a plate and rib structure with little or less material loss from the plate.

New name, same people, and an even better experience. The Oberlin Restoration Workshop is now the American Lutherie Institute (ALI)Restoration Workshop. We’ve strengthened ties with the Violin Society of America, we’re creating better workshop infrastructure, and are committed to providing the best collaborative learning experience we can for our participants. This summers workshop is June 15 through June 21 in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Link in bio to apply, for more information please email jhl@alutherie.com
.
ALI was formed in 2024 to administer the Restoration Workshop for a temporary relocation. After a resounding success, the change was decided to be made permanent. The facilities @pajamafactory allowed there to be zero separation between violin restorers and bow restorers allowing both to benefit from the exchange of ideas.
