I visited Patrick Timmins's Ten String Sad Machine store in Seattle and had a wonderful time. He was welcoming and knowledgeable, and we talked steels and steel stuff for a long time. He kindly let me play many of the guitars he had in stock, and to my delight they were all expertly set up and in tune. I got to play lots of guitars I wouldn't have been able to try otherwise. It helped me get a feel for what I like and don't like in steels - a blessing and a curse because now I'm jonesing for a Show Pro.
He is located in West Seattle and open by appointment. He does excellent repair work and even has a machine shop to make parts. I would feel totally comfortable sending him my gear. I highly recommend visiting Ten String Sad Machine if you are in Seattle! Thank you, Patrick!

Thanks for the review, Ellen! It's good to know there's another place that services steel guitars on the West Coast besides Jim Palenscar's Steel Guitars of North County in the San Diego area.

Dang, I wish I'd known about this! I was just in Seattle on vacation last week. But first post was Aug 2, and I was camping on the coast with no internet access then...
