Re: Looking for a US luthier that does bowlback restoration
I've seen Jake's work too, excellent.
Chris Pantazelos (Spartan Instruments, Lowell MA), mentioned in Jim's post above, has done some excellent bowlback repairs and restorations for me. Top-notch work: he's done historical restorations for Metropolitan (NY), Mus Fine Arts (Boston), Musical Instrument Museum (AZ), etc. Chris studied through the Greek bouzouki tradition, so bowlbacks are home base for him. He makes some pretty nice bouzoukis too.
Anyone know a bowlback repair person in the Pacific Northwest?
