Double Bass Upstate NY/Western MA/Southern VT luthier needed

[VTHacker]

Howdy, all:
I'm looking to find a competent DB luthier/repair person in my neck of the woods—I live in southwestern VT, about an hour's drive from Albany, NY. Does anyone here have a recommendation for me?

I tried a TB search, but came up with nothing useful... sorry if this is well-trod ground.

Robert McIntosh, an excellent luthier, lives and works in Cambridge, NY, not far from Bennington and Albany. [email protected] is his e-mail I think.

Mark Leue is in Ashfield MA which is about 30min south of the VT/MA border http://www.theluthier.us/about.html

Thanks for the replies—those two names will definitely be a good place to start. I have an Epiphone (recently bought from a TBer) that may need a little attention. Also, being new to DB, I want to begin to develop a relationship with a luthier.

Again, thanks!
