Some time ago, when I went to look at his website, i too noticed its absence. Further googling brought up the information (reliable?) that he had left lute making as a profession for one that provided a more reliable income; he would continue building only his own instruments. But if you sent him an instrument for repairs, I presume he would honor his commitment to you. At any rate, I would do a google search to see if you can come up with an address for him. Good luck.
