CHRIS CIOFFI'S BANJO REPAIR SHOP

Sunday, November 8, 2009

I am on sabbatical for the indefinite future, and likely will not be available for banjo work until at least 2024.

Consequently, I will not be returning any calls regarding banjo related subjects including work or commissions.

If you are a previous customer of mine and/or a friend, my new number is 615-202-5074, and although I will be hard to reach, I will make an effort to be in touch if you leave a message and return number.

I will not be available by any other means but the above number. I will not have access to the internet, so I will not be able to respond to the hangout message system nor direct email.

If you are interested in my work, the links below may or may not be of interest to you:

Customer reviews about work I have completed for them on their banjos as well as some completed new banjos I have been commissioned to build:
