The current time frame represents the work load we have in currently and is an estimate of when we will start work on your instrument. That does not mean it will be done exactly in that time frame.  Some repairs can take extra time due to some unforeseen issues and the wait time can fluctuate.  Anything that has finish work, extensive gluing, requiring specialized parts or custom parts may require more time and an estimate will be given after we have seen the instrument and have an idea of what it needs.
