Luthier (plus if Taylor authorized) in the DC Metro Area?

[Magster24]

Hey fellow DC Metro Area folks,

Anyone have a recommendation on a good luthier locally (plus if they're also Taylor Authorized)?

I don't have any work specifically that needs to be done, just wanted to keep a list with contacts handy.

Thanks,

Hi Aaron, I used Melodee Music in Sterling for some work on my 516 and they are an authorized Taylor repair center.  Rob (owner) and his staff are super-nice and helpful - and they have a great acoustic room with lots of Taylors to look at.....  This weekend they are having their annual Acoustifest - check it out on their website - I think some people from here and the AGF are going to be there.

Also, Chuck Levin's in Wheaton sells Taylors - not sure if they are a Taylor service center.  You could also check Alexandria Music near Mt. Vernon - they sell Taylors as well so they may be a service center.

The one aspect of the new Taylor website that actually ended up being of use was to look up the service centers so you can try that too - it's how I found Melodee.

I have used Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center and can tell you these guys are good. They are a Taylor authorized repair center. I've not had anything major done but some minor adjustments and it has never taken me over an hour in and out. Probably cause I call and let them know I'm coming. They also have quite a selection of new Taylor's in their acoustic room.
