Luthiers in Atlanta (inside perimeter)

I use Regie and the folks at his shop exclusively.  They are trustworthy, ethical, and their work is top-notch.  I have also found the services they provide an excellent value (although I have never had them cut a bridge for me).

I have used Stephanie Voss for several bow rehairs from 2006 to 2009 and once for a fingerboard repair 5 or 6 years ago. She's honest, quick, and does a good job. Most importantly she is honest. There are a lot of shops only interested in making a buck.

I know some people like Reggie Williams, and I know some people hate Reggie Williams. I can't say if he does a good job or not, because I have never used him. I have heard horror stories of people getting ripped off at Williams-Gengakki.

I would recommend Boguslaw Kieta, assuming you are looking for a third option. His website is http://www.violinatlanta.com/index.php if you want to see his contact info.

Stephanie Voss and Pablo Alfaro both initially came to Atlanta to do repair work at Gengaki- both left and flourish on their own! Never heard anyone complain about business ethics of either one of them. Stephanie's close intown, Pablo's not- out in Decatur. Pablo won overall Gold Medal (Bob Wallace Award) at VMAAI in 2009.
