Recommend Rebuilder?

[William R. Monroe]

Dang, Baoli,

When are you hoping to have the Belly work done??  What kind of finish, wood 
or ebony?  Is there damage to the veneer/body of the instrument that needs 
to be repaired before refinishing?  Do you have any preconceived notions as 
to whether the instrument should be historically accurate, or are you trying 
to achieve the greatest sound possible??  I've a few ideas for you.  What 
kind of budget do you have for the Belly work?  That will dictate what is 
available.

I'm was really hoping my shop would be built by this Fall, but it may be 
Spring before I'm ready.  At that time, I'll be putting in my own 
soundboards, bridges, blocks, etc.  Everything but refinishing.  Of course, 
you might prefer someone more experienced.  I've recently done an "O" and an 
"A" and will soon be taking on an AB Chase 6'1" Grand for Belly and Action 
work.  Anyway, I'd be happy to help you get some direction.
