Here's another list (I like the first one better because the luthiers were listed regionally):

After a few horrible experiences totaling $400 I can suggest that no one goes to a luthier without a very positive report from a personal friend who actually was a customer.
Anyone can become a luthier for about $800-$1000 for tools (Luscombe and others) and perhaps a small expense for a web site which would probably be much better than reality.
There ARE some luthiers who are genuine and some of them are geniuses at what they do but hard to find.
Good luck and be CAREFUL!
PS One of the thieves I dealt with was very high on "the list" HO,HO,HO!

That is just the kind of reference that I think the violin community needs and deserves. I only wish that such good information and luthiers were more available where needed.
@Barry You are a hard man to reach! Are you blocked for FHO e-mail?
I would like to know about good violin supply mail order places in Nashville? I'm wondering why I should not be doing business a lot closer to home and why not support those dealers. How is Sam Ash? Nashville Violin? Etc.
Bet you have an easy catfish supper right out the back door ???

I would willingly drive a hundred miles for the services of a competent luthier.
Maybe we could convince Fiddlerman to have a "good luthier" list on site with reports only from the membership? Or just start a thread in the BreakRoom. I might do that.
