what happened? OK...A guy named mike (forgot his last name) at Fishburn Violin Shop in the Houston area did really nice work on my bass recently. Another I can think of is Philip Gold and Gold Violin Shop in Houston....he hasnt done any work on my bass for me but my teacher said he does good work....He's Ira Gold's dad (in case anyone isnt familiar with the amazing bassist Ira Gold, he came in first in the BSO's last audition period but they didnt take him....hes in the National Symphony right now)

hope this helps...

I don`t have his number, but Jim Scoggins is someone to call in Houston.

Dorian Barnes at the lisle violin shop is also really good.

Small world. Got to see him in a masterclass several years ago and really enjoyed his work!

Thats awesome....my teacher knows Ira really well and so I got a lesson with him a couple months ago. He's really great

Thanks.
I'll be making some calls tomorrow so if anybody has some more ideas. I think I need a neck reset, not sure what else.
Thanks.
