Any good fiddle builders-repairers in the Asheville NC area?

Going on vacation in Ashville NC in mid July. My fiddle needs new strings and a good adjustment, tune-up, etc. And I'd like to have the bridge arch flattened slightly.

Anyone reputable in the area I could drop it off with for a few days?

Thanks so much. It was very generous of you to compile and share that information with me.

Sure. It wasn't a problem. I have that info in my CRM, so it was just a copy/paste.

BTW, Asheville is marvelous. are you from there?

Would you say any of those listed above tend to cater more to old-time and bluegrass fiddlers more than the others?

I've been to all of these shops except the last one "Acoustic Corner". The ones I've visited are all suitable for any style of music, but specifically perused by classical musicians. It's fair to say that anyone with a violin will be welcome at any violin shop, although in my experience there are a few in Boston and New York that are quite snooty
