Joe Vallee graduated from
Roberto-Venn in 1981. For the next ten years, Joe operated his own
repair and restoration business providing repair, customization, and warranty
service for several music stores in the Phoenix and Tucson
areas. When
an instructor position opened up, Joe seized the opportunity to share his
repair expertise as well as pursue his own passion for designing and building
electric bass guitars and mandolins (Steve Miller owns a "Vallee" electric
mandolin). As a guitar tech for the Doobie
Brothers, Joe also offers a unique insight into the responsibilities and skills
needed by the touring "road tech".
