About
I have over 30 years of experience in restoring and fabricating string instruments to meet classic standards of size, form, and function. I also specialize in customizing instruments to meet a player's personal standards. Personalized Service Options are available for players with non-standard circumstances, freeing them from many of the hinderances of strict standards in the field. The trick is in knowing how and when to depart from these standards to meet a musician's personal needs. In over three decades, I have been confronted often enough for personalized adjustments and custom fits that I have mastered many such tricks. When clients approach me for fabrications or set-up alterations, I listen to their requirements to develop a shared understanding. From there, I am able to thoroughly consider, research, and personalize their stringed instrument — the most personal of tools.
