Eric Hamilton began learning orchestral string and bow repair in 1987 under the tutelage of world-class violin maker, David Burgess (the most highly decorated violin maker in the history of the instrument). Since then, he has repaired and maintained the instruments of civic orchestras, school orchestra programs and individual virtuoso and amateur performers. In 1991, to expand his repertoire and to service his own instrument of choice, Eric began learning guitar and bass repair at J.F. Naylor Guitars (now Reverend Musical Instruments). He furthered his skills taking technical classes from major guitar manufacturers and eventually became an "A" level authorized service technician for almost every major manufacturer of guitars worldwide. Over the next 15 years, he built his own repair business in the south suburbs of Detroit, Michigan, doing repairs for musicians from all over the continent of North America. His business closed in 2004 when he returned to the Bay Area. Recently Eric has reopened his repair business to Bay Area musicians and services all makes and models of stringed instruments, any level of repair. For information about his services, contact:
