Sarah Dieterichs Sarah has been expertly repairing instruments since the 1990s. Originally trained here by her father Karl Dieterichs, Sarah certainly has the skill and experience for even the most complicated repairs. She has worked on many vintage instruments, performing a number of neck sets on pre-war Martins (as well as many other guitars), crafting authentic-looking replica bridges, expertly repairing cracks, and bringing vintage banjos back to life.
Dan Beaver
Dan Beaver has been working on stringed instruments for over 10 years in various capacities. He has pursued the knowledge of the function and sound of musical instruments from an early age, and continues his constant research into the endless variables that they present. He is open to any project and employs a direct and honest conversation with the client, while showing the great care and respect that your instrument deserves.
Dan is also a working musician and has played in various bands in the Bucks County and Philadelphia area. He brings a player's experience to the repair bench and will make sure that your instrument is ready for any musical endeavor, whether it be in the lesson room, at the local jam or on the stage.
Jackie Dieterichs Jackie has worked in our repair shop on and off since she and Karl opened Bucks County Folk Music Shop in 1966. We joke that she's a "Jackie of All Trades" and has taken on a strong role in our repair shop in recent years. Binding reglues, string changes, and setups are just a few of her skills.
