Default Searching for a resonator luthier in Italy/Europe

Hi all,
an Italian friend of mine needs to bring his National Delphi resonator to a luthier. He doesn't know (neither do I) a specialized luthier in Italy. Shipping to National Guitars in California is not an option for economic reasons.
Any luthier specialized in resonator guitars in the Old Continent?
PM me if you like.
Thanks in advance.
--Carlo

May be worth contacting Mike Lewis of Fine Resophonic in France.

In case this is still of interest, maybe to others than Carlo: here's a list of people I happen to know of (in alphabetical order):

Markus Koch - Germany
Jiri Lebeda - Czech Republic
Jan Liewald (Leewald) - Czech Republic
Hugo Valcke - Belgium
Karel Zacal - Czech Republic

Most (or all?) of them build other instruments, too.

Why not just your local luthier, nothing complicated with resonator guitars.

If it is good for Robbie McIntosh (Paul McCartney, The Pretenders, Talk Talk, Norah Jones, John Mayer, Tears For Fears, Mark Knopfler, to name but a few).

I once met Pierre Avocat and he is very nice.

One ordered by Eric Clapton
