    Default Hill Country String Works - McClung armrests

    I have recently acquired two McClung arm rests from these folks and feel compelled to share that David and company are way over the top when it comes to friendly and efficient customer care. They are super! Their arm rests are special for two reasons: 1) they are larger than any other arm rests I have used and 2) the arm rests are angled. The result is a very comfortable, very functional arm rest. People and product - top notch!!

    I'm a fan of the McClung as well.
    Maybe you mean Doug? Here's the builder.

    I’m confused most of the time as well. David McClung is a good friend of mind. He’s been working in the shop with me the past couple months. He’s mainly working the repairs and inlay work. Ron McClung provided the suggestion for the angled armrest.
    Some of David’s work. Thank you for your support!
