Hi Vlad. All of our BC contacts are on Vancouver Island, not the mainland, but I'm forwarding your query there in hopes someone will know someone... Meanwhile, here's one highly recommended on the guitarscanada.com forum: Nicole Alosinac Luthiery, (by appointment only), 604-724-0726, [email protected]. I looked at her webpage and she claims "extensive experience in classical, acoustic and electric guitar and bass repair, and repair of all other string instruments including banjo, mandolin, ukulele, and violin repair."
The big one in Vancouver would be Larrivee Guitars, but they're likely to be too big to get involved in anything other than their own product. OTOH, they might just be sufficiently intrigued, and have a vast assortment of pieces of wood you could sort through. 604-253-7111. Address is 780 Cordova St E, Vancouver, BC V6A 1M3, but I don't know whether that would be factory or offices. I'll let you know if I get any more leads from my BC friends. Good travels to you. Sounds like you'll be flying back to Ireland about the same time I leave for Seattle. We don't seem destined to meet any time soon! ~Tania -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hurdygurdy" group.
