Acoustic guitar top damaged - who can repair it?

    The top of my acoustic guitar (orchestra size Tanglewood TW40-O-AN) got damaged by something falling on it while it was in its case open.

    There is a deep crack about 3-4cm long in the varnish/clearcoat and the wood is dented, but I can't make out if the crack continues into the wood.

    I'm devastated, this is my favourite possession in the world.

    Where can I get it repaired? Will it ever sound the same again?

    If you cant even see a crack I'd imagine it would be easily repaired. Try archtop.ie, did a great job on a guitar for me in the past.

    I'd recommend the guitar tech. You can find him on facebook.

    The crack is easily visible. It looks/sounds like the wood took a dent and the varnish cracked something bad. I do want it repaired, and should get it looked at to make sure nothing more serious is going on.
