I thought you all might like to know I am providing repair and restoration of Ms. Eliza James's $33000 violin and the bows as a "break-a-leg" gift (you don't wish a performer go** lu**) and hope those of you who get to hear the performances will appreciate the music... I wish I could go

Robert Cauer 9 (I think that's how you spell his name) who is a major violin dealer and luthier in L.A. is the man for the job.. excellent service and very trustworthy in sales and service (no relation either)

she does lots of L.A. session work: movie music (March of the Penguins, Talladega Nights, National Treasure.... etc) I've seen her perform in Disney Hall... etc.

she has a Myspace with her resume
