I can’t say that I know many luthiers in Minnesota, but I do know Charlie Hoffman and he’s a good one. His workmanship is impeccable.

Charlie Hoffman, for sure, although I’ve heard that he might be either retired, or on the verge of it...

Brian Applegate would have to be on the list, for sure. His work is exquisite.

And no list would be complete without Jim Olson.
