After moving inland from the coast I needed to find a luthier to do repairs and maintained e on a number of instruments. Previously I'd had one guy that I'd trusted for 40 years and when he passed away I was concerned that I'd be unable to find anyone in this rural area. I needn't have worried as I was recommended to Dave and I've been delighted with every aspect of the experience. Not only is he a top notch luthier he's a top notch human as well and the sort of person you want to do business with. As a professional musician with a 50 year history of gigs and a number of electric and acoustic instruments I'm truly thankful to have found him and will continue to take all my business to his shop as needs arise.
