Specialists Who Work as a Team

Each of us leads our own instrument disciplines, and we're all cross-trained, so a tricky repair gets three sets of eyes. The best results possible, every time.

Stephen Bluebaugh
Co-Founder / Strings Specialist
Stephen is our head of string repairs. A cello with an open seam, a guitar that needs a quick tune up: it all lands on his bench. He also handles our electronics and percussion work, including amps, digital keyboards, drums, and mallet instruments. With 17 years of industry experience, his expertise is an invaluable part of our team.
