Cello luthier needed around Byron

Post by matthew » Fri Jul 15, 2011 3:44 pm

A friend of mine in Byron bay needs to have his daughter's cello repaired. Neck is part busted out of mortise, and the whole thing needs a proper neck reset, setup and new bridge cut. A job for someone who's done it before.

Can anyone recommend a luthier in the area?

I'm not doing the job because too far away. He may have to go into Brisbane I guess.

Yes it is not a difficult repair.

However, as I said, I am too far away - 10 hours drive. That's why I am trying to find someone in the Byron Bay area for my friend.
