Repairs & Setups
Every instrument needs occasional attention, whether it is to set it up exactly the way you like it, or to repair damage over time or due to trauma. At Mountain View Music, we do all of our repairs in house and have a full time Luthier on staff. If you are in the neighborhood, stop in and watch him work. His shop is part of the store and is a favorite spot for guests. Scott Pool is one of the store owners and a master Luthier. Feel free to ask questions or just watch as instruments are restored or set up.
