Speaking of Restorations...

[Craig Regan]

Thats a good idea Arnold. In the past, I have helped out at my kids school doing repairs on their basses. It was a good deal for the school; The work was done "pro bono" and the turn around time was a matter of days. Most shops have a much longer waiting period for repairs from what I am told.
I'll check around with some school districts in my area and see if anyone is interested.
