A True craftsman when it comes to hand work on violins and cellos. I just stopped in to see what he does.... and was I surprised. I found Stephen and crew busy "making" violin parts from scratch. Hand carved wooden headstocks, bridges and dainty panels all carefully assembled by these guys. Beautiful handiwork carried out with precicion all while having a conversation with me about "Old school" wood working tools. He is a delightful man doing a fine 'old school" craft. The instruments brought in for repairs, as well as the built from scratch models, at his modest shop, sound good and look Fabulous. I was invited to come back and "chat" again. The students coming thru were very satisfied with their instruments too. I asked several. Mr bridgham was highly recomended by them all. I would trust him (prefer him) to work on my stringed instruments anytime I need repairs. .
