"After seeing a video on Youtube demonstrating his facility with gypsy guitar set-up, as well as taking into account his personal history with violin repair, I knew he’d be totally capable of diagnosing another old gypsy box in my collection. He right away recognized the problem spots and tried humidification and other actions before finally doing a refret. It turned out perfectly, even though I later found out it was a not an easy job. And he turned it over in a timely manner."

"The outcome was just astounding. Tommy had brought Henry’s AJL guitar back to life, tweaking and building several bridges and restoring its beautiful tone and growl. He is a master and is highly regarded in the gypsy jazz community as the guy to turn to when it really counts."

Victor & Henry Acker

"Tommy not only knows his instruments in and out, but he also does EXPERT repairs and setups- a set of skills that can make a great guitar sound G R E A T (and sound it's best). I've been playing gypsy guitars for 30 years and have never seen this level of commitment, understanding, and expertise.”
