VIEW FULL LIVE VERSION : Attempting to reach out to Curbow String Instruments

I'm trying to contact Curbow in an attempt to have work done on an instrument I purchased back in '92.

I understand that Gregg passed in '05 but that Douglas Somervell is now Curbow’s master luthier. However, I can't say how current this information is because my searches do not provide any dates. To complicate things their website is no longer live but I do seem to turn up evidence that they are (at least in some manner of fashion) still producing instruments. On the other hand contacting the phone# I've found online has proven unsuccessful. I get a "Temporarily unavailable message" each time I dial.

I've found a MySpace page for both Mr. Somervell and Curbow and submitted inquiries to each but have yet to see a response.

I'm hoping that by posting here that someone who is "in the know" might be able to point me in the right direction or assist with contacting them.

Any thoughts or advice is very welcome.

Thanks.

Update: I've now been in touch with Mr. Somervell and hopefully going to be able to have him look at my instrument.
