“Thank you for the beautiful job you did in restoring my grandson’s violin and the extra courtesy of shipping it for me.  I will certainly recommend you to anyone needing your service.

“I just wanted to thank you for being so helpful during our time in Pensacola. I’ve enjoyed doing business with you.

“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!  What a great job you did on the violin.  It sounds like a completely different instrument than when I sent it to you. Truthfully, I did not like the sound of it — maybe because it was new — I thought!  Anyway - today it is practically no older but due to your expertise and fine workmanship, - it sounds like a good business fiddle. Particularly in the higher positions the quality of tone is there - where before you worked on the violin it (to me) had a very puny sound and very difficult to finger the “half steps” from the top of 3rd position on up, - increasing in difficulty as you worked toward the top of the fingerboard.  Anyway, thank you again.
