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

Where you located? Can't offer up anyone with knowing at least that much
Thanks for the reply. I am in Arkansas. I may be willing to ship anywhere in continental USA. Just looking for really good work.

my friend in heber springs repairs lots and lots of fiddles, etc. he also rehairs bows.
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)
