Sound Post Fail!

[timloudon]

Bloody gone and let the sound post fall over in my Czech Ease like a proper amateur idiot!

Does anyone know a place/person where I can get it reset, I don't have the special tool.

Call Jan at [url="http://www.chapel-allerton.org.uk/strings.html"]Chapel Allerton Strings [/url]in Leeds.
He's a top bloke and a great luthier.

I've also had him recommended to me by a player I know in York, he seems to be the go-to guy around here.

it is certainly the best to go to a luthier, but i was really impressed when my mate (who is a really kool psychobilly player for many many years) just poked it up with the bbq fork and wedged it up again... it isn't that hard really, might be worth a try...

Jan was an excellent shout chaps!

He was welcoming and even did some more work than just reseting the sound post. I'd highly recommend him to anyone in the Leeds area.

He also makes and repairs violins, violas, cellos, guitars and anything else stringy.

Problem solved!

Nice one. I love his front room, full of all sorts of stringed instruments.
