Joe Arbiso

Joseph brings a passion to his work seldom seen in today’s busy environment, an Old-World approach to repair and restoration, whether fitting the bridge on a student grade cello or installing a sound post patch in a more valuable violin. In addition to his broad expertise in orchestral strings, Joseph is also skilled in guitar repair, both acoustic and electric.
