Philosophy: “We treat every instrument like it is our own. We’ll repair, customize and make almost any instrument.”
Restoration can make a vast difference and bring an instrument back to life! Don’t give up on your instrument until you’ve shown it to us.

What do you do when you need an instrument repaired?
Bring the instrument in its case to the store during business hours. Be prepared to leave your instrument for evaluation. After an evaluation of the needed repair(s), a work order will be written and an estimate given to you. If you leave an item for the work to be completed, it will be taken "next in line." A completion date is often available, but it is only an estimate. You will be called as soon as the repair(s) are complete. On-the-spot and same day repairs are offered for musicians with a deadline and visitors passing through town.
