String repairs are done either in house or through a luthier like Carrie Scoggins. Carrie received her training at Peter Prier’s Violin Making School of America and later taught Varnish and Set Up classes at the school. She and her husband opened Scoggins & Scoggins Violin Shop, which served the Utah string community for 28 years. Carrie is an excellent repairman whose specialty is now serving the Wyoming string community. She is a member of the American Federation of Violin and Bow Makers and the Violin Society of America.
