Violin repair needed.
I'm looking for someone, hopefully in NC WV that can fix a violin for me. The pegs are stuck from the humidity and the sound post needs reset. It's not out, but it's not set correctly. Any recommendations out there from someone you've had experience with? Thanks!

A guitar repair shop could probably steer you in the right direction, or have a referral regarding violins.

If red.ochre's suggestion doesn't pan out, try Fawley's (Earl Core Rd, next to McDonald's) or Kleeb's (next to Gabe's at the newer mall) in Motown.

I know you said WV or NC but thought it wouldn't hurt to see if there are some luthiers in VA:

Fret and Fiddle might be a good place to look, too, in St. Albans... I think they specialize in ... well... fiddles...

If all the other ideas don't work, try contacting the music department at whatever college or university is closest to you.
