Luthier in Southern Oregon?

Does anyone know of a good luthier in Southern Oregon or Northern California? I'm in Medford; both Portland and San Fransisco are 4 hours away.

I'd recommend Steve Bacon at Bellwood Violins in Ashland. He's not a bass specialist, but it seems like he's worked on almost every bass in Southern Oregon at one time or another. He does good work and his prices are fair. His phone number is 482-1436.

+1. Glenn's business is called "String Instrument Repair" and his shop is located on Hwy. 99 between Ashland and Talent.

Jake DeVilliers' Bass Spa in Far-North Oregon (British Columbia) also does good work if you want an adventure.

Bob and Geoff Daugherty (Daugherty Violin Shop) in Eureka, CA., are excellent.
