Where to Get an Extension - Chicago

[Cosmos]

Hey - Can anyone recommend a luthier who makes good extensions in or near Chicago?


Thanks.

Hello,

My personal favorite Chicago luthier:

Mark Sonksen, www.sonksenstrings.com

Other options, all with good reputations:

www.a440violinshop.com

www.allthingsbass.com - This is Michelle Fiore's place in Wheeling, IL

There is also a well-known luthier in Evanston, Scott Henrie (SP?) whose contact info escapes me.

Good Luck.

Scott has been my luthier for 25 years and does wonderful work. He is located on the north side of Chicago. His Phone # is 773-743-8738.

I would also contact members of the CSO, Lyric and other orchestras to get extension recommendations.
