(Found) Sci Fi story about a violin repair.

[Bigplants]

Read this in my youth, 1960s or 70s (probably) It is about a time when wood has become incredibly rare. It takes place off planet. A violin is taken to an old man for repair. He uses a very small piece of wood. I think there was something to the effect that he says with the repair it will never be the same as original.

I don't usually try to find short stories because I mostly know novels, but I think I've actually read this one, so I did some searching and found:

Could it have been one of the stories in this collection?

Thank you, that's it. Not as as I remember but then it's been a while.
