Hey... I was wondering if anyone knew of a good setup shop in the Buffalo, NY area. I need to have a new sound post installed and I'm a little weary of just trying the yellow pages. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! -Phil
There's Marc Monaco: Monaco's Violin Shop 2333 Niagara Falls Blvd. Amherst, NY 14228 716-691-4940. Boyd Jacklyn is an excellent violin luthier, I don't know if he speaks bass though: Boyd Jacklin 422 Niagara Falls Blvd. Buffalo, NY 14223 716-837-1684 Same with Joseph's: Joseph's Violin Shop 3764 Seneca St. West Seneca, NY 14224 716-677-6545 And you can always visit us outside Rochester if you're in a driving mood. 585-377-9560.
Thank you very much for the reply. I'll call around tomorrow and see what I can figure out. Rochester would be a bit of a haul for this adventure, but when I'm in the market for another upright, I'll definately come and check it out Thanks again! -Phil
Hey Mr. Phil, It's your bass, and you want to take good care of it. Paul and Jesse up in Rochester did a great job on my old bass when I was living in Buffalo. It's only a bit more than an hour and well worth it. Otherwise, your next best bet is heinls in Toronto and I don't know what getting over the border with a bass is like right now. Boyd is an excellent violin guy, and I know a dude who takes his Testore Bass to him for minor tweaks, but I would go with Paul if I can.
What ever happened to Mr. Bresciani? His website is down and his principal position is up for grabs. What gives?
