Lorraine undertakes both repair and restoration, always keeping in mind the ethics of her profession: working in as unintrusive a manner as possible and respecting the intent of the maker whilst keeping the musician in mind.

For many years, she has also been setting up instruments for both amateurs and professional players, taking great care that each instrument is at the best of its tonal qualities and playability.
