  I had a great experience getting instrument work done here on my french bow and modern Neapolitan violin. The big-box violin store in town wanted two weeks to rehair my bow; I came to the Harris shop and was offered same-day service. The quality of the rehair was very good, and done for a very reasonable price. Duncan also replaced my worn-out grip with a strong but supple piece of buffalo hide. He also noticed a small ivory chip missing on the beak of the bow, and glued an appropriately sized patch in its place. Since I was getting the bow work done I also decided to get an open seam on my violin glued together, which Duncan had no problems doing an excellent job with. Together with the bow rehair, my instrument is sounding great again!
  
  It's clear that Duncan loves the craft and the tradition of instrument making. He'll be glad to show you plates in his reference books that highlight the specifications of your antique instrument maker.
  
  Overall his shop is a great addition to the downtown Ann Arbor offerings - accessible, reliable, and unpretentious. I highly recommend his work for standard instrument maintenance.
