At the end of the day a person has to make a living. If a slot is open now and you have two people wanting it with the one person waving cash at you and saying take me or I have an opportunity with another luthier right now, he may have done the honorable thing and called you before confirming him. So maybe he was being pressured, you don't know what is driving the call. I hope he would in turn offer a spot in the future for you.
