Does anyone have experience with violin makers in montreal?
Which is a good luthier?

Here are three reputable luthiers recommended by my supplier.

Therese Girard (514) 878-9982
Pierre Charette (514) 844-3848
Michele Gagnon (514) 827-3163

If you need more, please let me know

I know it's Montreal, but MAN those are some French-sounding names. Probably the Frenchest names I've heard outside France.

Edit: I just realized you could construe that I don't realize that Montreal is a French-speaking city from the first half of that statement, but my intention was that, even though it is Montreal, it still sounds almost TOO French. Just to clarify.

Unfortunately due to political pressure, many people left montreal in the 60/s 70/s and 80/s myself included. Of the 10 people I grew up with 9 left for better prospects elsewhere . Our high schools 40 th reunion was held in Toronto ontario.
