Subterranean Music Works

Carter E. Ruff

After college, I enrolled in the violin repair program at Red Wing Technical College in Red Wing, Minnesota, and then their guitar repair and building program under David Vincent the following year.  Not long after that, I came to Maine to work for Dana Bourgeois Guitars. After putting in my time there, I eventually struck out on my own: Subterranean Music Works was born!

I have been repairing and building guitars and other stringed instruments full-time since 2002. I do repairs for a number of music retailers in Maine, as well as working directly with customers.
