You own a guitar with unsatisfactory string action, a warped neck, worn out, buzzing frets, nail gutters in the fingerboard, a loose bridge, a crack here or there? You need a new bridge saddle? All this is also part of my know-how.

Classic guitar(nylon strings), folk, jazz, semi-hollow or solid-body, electric and acoustic basses, Martin®, Fender®, Gibson®, Taylor®, PRS®, etc., I know the differences and how to fix, rejuvenate your instrument while keeping intact its character and history (we love scratches, wear out and bumps, specially if they are true), vintage, modern or study. I also take care of worn out wirings, with all the genuine diagrams. Crackling Pots? No problem ! A new neck pickup? Same, same... Best selected gear.

You own an ethnic, non-western stringed instrument, and you don't know how to tune it, which strings to put on, or even worse, something got loose?

Many chances are that the classical luthier that you know - a well respected master in his noble own right- would not know how to repair, set up this kind of instruments. I do. Being a multi-instrumentist, having rub shoulders with many non-western music styles , baroque, medieval, balkanic, indian, celtic and also americana, incl. blues and rock, I learned a lot about all those instruments. I love them and know them well. I would be proud to have your trust.

Whatever sounds because of strings is here at my workshop in good hands. Okay, frankly said, keyboards are not right up my alley, I would advise you to go to a piano repair specialist.

New ready-made instruments: 5 string-fiddle, foot-tapping dolls (limberjacks in US, jigueux in Quebec), pegs lathed for historical pieces, special bows for the whole range of fiddles, Appalachian Dulcimer, the French 5 string Epinette -one or two double decks, to taste-, custom Irish Cipin (beater) for bodhran, primitive mouth bows, jaws harp boxes made of precious wood, and even didgeridoos made out of native wood - no white ants involved.
