Hi, where do you all go for a setup? It is a new, pretty well setup from Elderly, RKR35. But it always helps to have an instrument dialed in.

Hopefully, with all the "String Bands" around there are some good shops nearby.

Thanks

Paul

	OldPoppy says: 1/4/2013 11:25:06 AM Bucks County Folk Music shop might be a good bet, but I see on their web site that the repair shop is closed until the 12th. Anyway, it's shop.bucksmusic.com/
	pcmancini says: 1/4/2013 11:27:06 AM I do know of them but thanks. Was wondering if there are others as well. (Nothing against them.)
	OldPoppy says: 1/4/2013 11:31:42 AM I'd like to know about others in the area, too. Unfortunately, this is a small and not very active group, but maybe someone will chime in.
	pcmancini says: 1/4/2013 11:34:05 AM Yes, I noticed that when I joined but thought I would try anyway. Thanks.
	Dave Coin says: 4/14/2013 6:44:15 AM Yep, Karl at Bucks County.
	pcmancini says: 4/14/2013 6:49:09 AM Thanks again Dave. Do you know if he does "while you wait"?
	Dave Coin says: 4/16/2013 4:35:27 PM Maybe... if you called ahead.
GruberHuber says: 9/2/2016 11:20:12 AM I just had some repairs done at Bucks County, including setting up a new bridge and replacing some frets and the craftsmanship was terrible and my banjo is now permanently scarred and sounds terrible. Karl seems knowledgeable (arrogant) but the work was terrible and he took no ownership for damaging my instrument. Needless to say I will never be going back, and I urge you to learn from my mistake!
