Hi! It's 2019 now, Manuel Furtado left Dubai. I'm looking for a luthier who could rehair my violin bow. I do need it quickly for I have an exam coming up. If you know anyone, please do tell me.
Thanks! Cheers
His contact details are as follows (contacted him and got his permission):

Fascinating man. A genuis! Builds his own guitars and violins, and he is a flautist. Can repair any instrument except pianos, I believe. For me he has repaired/serviced, trumpet, saxaphone and flute.
This is the person I used and he is Portuguese. Where he works is however rather difficult to find despite his excellent location map. He had all kinds of instruments in his workshop and he also makes them himself. A true craftsman.
Agreed - but then I wouldn't want anyone putting up my contact details without my permission so I won't do it to anyone else, whether they're in business or not
Jellymum, can you not post his contact details so that others searching in the future might find them? It's not like you're advertising, merely responding to a request for information.
I've been told there is a (scandinavian?) chap based somewhere in Al Quoz who overhauls/reconditions musical instruments. Apparently JESS Jumeirah has used him as part of their instrument rent to buy scheme. Does anyone know who he is, have contact details for him and/or which instruments he restores?
Thanks
