Company Profile:

Rosa String Works was founded by Jerry L. Rosa, Sr. in 1983. The business simply grew from "word of mouth" after Jerry built his first mandolin.  Jerry is the former chairman of Bluegrass America a.k.a. the Missouri Area Bluegrass Committee and has been associated with Bluegrass music since childhood.

Here are a few comments from customers: 

• From Ray Hicks, DJ for KTTR Radio, Rolla, MO - Regarding a complete guitar setup/repair job.  "...it never was real strong on volume.  But the difference in the way it sounded before you got it and the way it sounds now is nothing short of amazing!  And I can now play an open F chord cleanly - never could do that before.  Also I'm now motivated to get it out, play it and try to learn new songs or relearn some I once knew but forgot.  It's been a long time since I was this inspired."
• From Don Pipes, St. Clair, Missouri regarding his new hand crafted Rosa F - Style Mandolin:  "You did a magnificent job on this Jerry !!  There is tremendous effort put into this that I would not have gotten with other places."
• From David Polston, Mexico, Missouri regarding the setup of his Martin Guitar:  "I wanted the action on my Martin D-15 set down so it played easier. When I got it back, it has the best action of any acoustic guitar I have ever played. In fact, I have an electric that doesn't play any better. He also did his "secret" trick to it and the over all tone was greatly improved and gained volume. He does great work."
• From The Morrow Sisters (Patty & Mary Jane), Louisiana, Missouri , regarding their recording session:  "Jerry Rosa is truly an outstanding professional.  We had the pleasure of recording a project with our band in his recording studio and the final result was so much better than we expected, we almost didn't recognize ourselves.  Anything that Jerry chooses to do is sure to be done to perfection and not least of all, he's a great guy and down to earth."
