Alma Strings brings professional luthier expertise to the Evans and Northern Colorado music community. Owner Andrea Pinedo combines formal training from the University of Northern Colorado’s cello performance program with specialized lutherie education from Red Rocks Community College, creating a unique perspective on instrument repair and setup.

While the shop specializes in string instruments‚particularly violin family repairs‚Alma Strings has expanded to offer custom guitar builds for musicians seeking personalized instruments. Andrea’s background as a performing musician gives her insight into the importance of proper instrument setup and playability, especially for players dealing with comfort issues or seeking optimal performance from their guitars.

The shop operates by appointment from Andrea’s Evans location, allowing for focused attention on each instrument repair project. Her perfectionist approach to lutherie, combined with experience working at a Denver music store, ensures thorough fretwork and detailed craftsmanship on every custom build. As a bilingual luthier (Spanish-speaking), Andrea serves the diverse Northern Colorado community with professional guitar tech services alongside her traditional string instrument work.
