I should preface by saying I'm sure some people I know could do good work here in Los Angeles but I thought I'd see if anyone on the cafe could recomend someone with expert mandolin finese work...I have not your typical issues with acouple of my mandolins....If I had the time I'd go see David Harvey in Nashville ...he did great work for me a few years ago....but alas I'm on a time constraint...help if you can...thanks

Go see Greg Merkin at Shade Tree Music in Laguna, or contact Rick Turner for a referral.

Is he in Laguna now? I know Shade Tree ceased to exist as a retail shop in Mission Viejo awhile back; his website says Greg does his repair work out of San Juan Capistrano. I haven't visited the new shop yet; if you head down, please give us a report!

What about that guy in the shop above Guitar Row on Sunset, David Neely?

Most of the mandolin players in the LA area use Larry Brown. Call Boulevard Music in Culver City.

I was told recently that Larry Brown has retired.
