Hi Matthew,
I'm not aware of anyone having repair jobs with this Hobart luthier - but he had some very nice instruments on display at the Cygnet festival last weekend. His website has a mobile number at the bottom of the gallery

This guy seems to get some good references on a few forums: http://www.dobsonguitars.com.au/services.htm

Chris vonderborch might be worth contacting. Chris is a fellow Geologist (ex HOD at Flinders Uni) also with a passion for luthiery. I met Chris by chance one day....he was sitting on the bonnet of his 4WD in the car park of the physio clinic next door playing a very loud classical. Turns out it was a lattice braced instrument he'd built himself. Ive lost Chris's email address but here's a Facebook link:

There's a price list on his services page.

Yeah I noticed that.....prices seem reasonable.

Paul Mineur should do a good job. And he is right in North Hobart, on Argyle Street.

Thank you. He will try Dobson, having not had a good experience elsewhere before ...

Hi Matthew,
Sorry if my late second post caused any confusion but I meant that Paul in Argyle street has a Services page with prices - Hope that clears it up
Hes at: http://www.paulmineur.com/#!services/c21w2
