I would like it but the commute would kill me... I can just see me flying each way every day from Florida to San Francisco and then driving 3 hrs back home! Ha.

Haha I was just researching luthier apprenticeships. It'd definitely be an cool/unusual career, and something you love to boot. Good luck!

We've had some good response. We hired a new guy but may be needing another soon.

 I'd relocate to Florida in a heartbeat, but the most I've done is string an instrument. It's a lovely opportunity for someone with the qualifications though.

We filled the position and have several back up candidates. However, we'll soon be needing a third luthier.
