My Dallas customer wants to know who the good setup and repair bass specialists are in her area.

Thanks!

Who is the luthier that the symphony players use?

I think this is the place.

There's also the J. R. Rury Violin Shop in Dallas, but I'd highly recommend David Graham in Arlington (see link in previous post). His shop is bass only.

I just got off the phone after a very nice talk with David Graham. My Dallas customer will be in very good hands with him.

Thankyou!

If I could make a recommendation I would get in touch w/ Michael Hartery in Denton. He has done extensive work on my bass and others in the Ft Worth Symphony. Michael is a bass player himself and a very skilled luthier.

I would also recommend Joel MacMillan at the string repair shop at UNT. He is also a bass player and former employee of Robertson's violin shop.
