Does your fiddle need a tune up?


Need some advice about your banjo's broken bridge?


If so, you need a luthier!


A luthier is a person who makes and repairs stringed instruments. You are invited to bring your string instrument issues to the Tallgrass Prairie Fiddle Festival at Homestead National Monument of America on Saturday, May 25, 2019 and visit with luthier Marilyn Wallin. While at the monument, Wallin will provide free tune-up services for string instruments and discuss repair options. She will be at the Homestead Education Center starting at 10 a.m. and will continue to work with string instruments through the afternoon. Learn more about Marilyn by visiting her website.
