A good set up can be the difference between an ok playing experience and an amazing playing experience. So definitely give that thing a good set up!

Let's talk! I love a good project, and if I'm able to make your special project come to life, that would be amazing for both of us!

Depending on what you're looking for, the timeline on special projects may be a little longer than a regular Check-Up. But the wait will be worth it!

This will depend on what you're doing.

if you get a Setup done in the spring, you may find that it needs a little attention in the fall or winter. Or the inverse of that. This is due to the changes in humidity that we can see here between seasons.

However, if you're a working musician, and you're gigging two or three times a week, then we should see each other every three to six months or so, and before any major performance, or tour.

Please, don't toss it! Not before you talk to me! I can't say that I can fix everything. And to be certain, some things aren't worth saving, and some simply can't be saved. 

But we won't know until I've taken a look at it. So if you're not sure, call, text or email me, and we'll find out together, I will gladly give you a free estimate in case we can save it from the wood chipper!
