Just call the shop and tell the owner what you need to be done and he is accommodating. I was able to get my violin back the next day. The prices are reasonable. I would return here for violin supplies like strings, rosin, and polish.

Complained that I should get my deposit back and take amp home, they committed to take amp back to "bench". Returned 1 week later to find amp still on bench - i believe untouched. I seriously doubt they have any competence for electronic instrument repair. I took my unrepaired amp back and took the $65 deposit loss (since technically they put my amp on the bench). Beware.

Also the most impressive thing was - I would through a lil pop quiz questions to the employees about something and - got all correct with more info than asked. Also the cool thing - was almost as if it was like a secret underground place - when you walk in - you have some guy refurbishing up a classic guiter who looks like he played for the stones.

Also, Jon did varnish work on the instrument and a general cleaning and polishing. All of the work was spot on - neck angle and centering, bridge height, string fingerboard clearance, etc. Jon cuts a handsome bridge and does very fine varnish work, and the violin is now responding and looking its very best! It's such a pleasure working with Jon. I feel like I have my own personal fine luthier who I can work with directly as opposed to going to a major shop. Number one with him is doing great work and making sure you are happy and your expectations are met. He has always offered me follow up adjustments as part of the job, which I really appreciate. One more thing to add: Although I'm not currently in the market to buy a violin, I have played Jon's new violins and they are very impressive! Really liked his Del Gesu model. Beautifully responsive and resonant from the very bottom to the very top of the fingerboard! Check them out! - Howard V.
