THE ART and BEAUTY OF REPAIR
We are believers that a repaired instrument is better in many ways to new, here is why.
Â
The instrument is unique:
We embrace the Kintsugi mindset. Â Kintsugi values marks of wear from the use of an object. Kintsugi is about, highlighting cracks and repairs as events in the life of an object, rather than allowing its service to end at the time of its damage or breakage.
At Toxic Monkey Lab we do not hide repairs, we celebrate them.
​
If it was fixed, you will see it, but more importantly, you will NOT FEEL the repair. Â It is heartbreaking to see a beautiful instrument broken and neglected. Â That is why we go through the instrument top to bottom with an attention to detail.
