"All our repairs are done in-house, so there is never a long wait to get your instrument back. And we're here late, even before your next concert!"

Repairs
Your repairs receive the utmost care in our shop. Our certified trained professionals are knowledgeable about your instrument, and make sure it is in the best playing condition it can be. We hope to be of service to you in the future.
We handle all band instruments, as well as orchestral and fretted strings. Chemical cleanings, dent work, soldering, woodwind adjustments and setups are just a few of the repairs we do every week. Since we have technicians on the premises, repairs are usually done in 2-3 days - some are even done while you wait! Overhauls take about a week to be sure we have enough time to properly regulate and adjust.
