Nowa R Crosby Music Instrument Repair, operating as Randolin Music in Shelburne, Vermont, brings four decades of lutherie expertise to stringed instrument repair and restoration. Owner and luthier Nowa Crosby has spent 40 years building, designing, and repairing guitars, mandolins, banjos, ukuleles, violins, and cuatros from their shop located outside Shelburne’s historic village.

As a Fender Authorized Repair Center, the shop handles everything from routine guitar setups to complex restoration work on vintage instruments. Crosby’s comprehensive experience encompasses fretwork, bridge replacements, and full instrument rebuilds. The shop maintains an inventory of premium materials, including Brazilian Rosewood for custom bridge work and restoration projects.

Randolin Music serves a diverse range of stringed instruments beyond guitars, including vintage mandolins and banjos that benefit from Crosby’s specialized knowledge. The business philosophy centers on what they call “human service, not just customer service,” reflecting a personalized approach to instrument repair. The shop recently expanded same-day setup services to the New York area while maintaining their Vermont location as their primary repair facility. Their expertise with both modern and vintage instruments makes them a trusted resource for players throughout the region.
