Welcome

Thank you for visiting my Web Site!

Here you will find articles and how-to information about Banjo, Guitar, Mandolin and other stringed instrument repair, maintenance and general care with tons of pictures to accompany the do-in-yourself information.  I have added tips and tricks that I have learned over the years that I would like to share with you. 

Please feel free to browse all of my pages and let me know how I am doing.  Remember not to get in over your head ... it isn't knowing what to do that will get you in trouble ... it's not knowing what to do when what you are working on doesn't go as planned!

I offer high quality stringed instrument repair as well as Professional Banjo, Guitar, and Mandolin Lessons here in Eastern Virginia, but I also repair serve people from across the United States, as well as around the world.

Thank you very much for visiting my little corner of the World Wide Web,

Richie Dotson
