Hi Brent,
Sad to say, but at this point I think you've done all you can reasonably do.
The luthier knows how much you need the instrument, so I remain of the opinion
that contacting him too often won't have the desired effect. Patience is
required, though mine would be sorely tested in you
I did not pay for it until it
was finished.
To me, this is one of the keys to managing a person without adequate
business skills. If they already have the money, what is left for
motivation? A down payment for a new instrument order is reasonable,
but it seems to me that the final
