I was thinking about eventual repairs and changes to my mandolins and as a new player the question arose: who would I want to use. To aid this, I was wondering what makes a good luthier and what do mudcatters look for when looking for someone to work on their instruments. Finally, I was wondering in the USA and elsewhere, who do you use?

Astro...on the prowl to learn and to grow as a musician...how much fun is that!
