From the reviews
Mr. Harry Golden is a master luthier. I brought him my grandfather's 18th century double bass in deplorable condition. It was in pieces and warped from neglect. For four years, Harry patiently fixed all the problems associated with previous repairs and damage from neglect.
i am an adult beginner, BUT in addition to my own violin, which i took here to be repaired, i also run a private charity project (not tax exempt) refurbishing cheap yard sale and Craigslist finds for needy students.
Harold Golden has been my repair and rehair man for over 30 years. Very easy process every time, excellent work at reasonable price. When Harold fixes something, it STAYS FIXED!!! Highly recommend him!!!
Check out this luthier in Chestnut Hill. Excellent work. Make a reservation now for rehairing your bow.
