I am searching for a good luthier for Bluegrass/Old Time fiddle setup. I have a fiddle that needs a new bridge cut, correct tailpiece length adjustment and general setup adjustments. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good luthier that can get my fiddle setup and sounding good again. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I am in Arkansas. I may be willing to ship anywhere in continental USA. Just looking for really good work.

Kate Rickenbacker in Black Mountain, NC is great.

Palmer Violin Shop, Rogers AR.
Raymond is a member of the area philharmonic but also plays fiddle in a gigging old time band.
He lowered a too-high bridge for me, put on new strings and only charged $50. (2-3 years ago)
