Free estimates on Musical Instrument repairs

Our specialty is estimating repair costs for woodwind and brass instruments.

During an estimate, we thoroughly examine your instrument and offer you a quote that remains valid for thirty days. We consider your budget and the instrument's repair requirements to ensure you get the most value for your money. Your estimate will have the details of what parts we expect to use, quantity of pads, corks, estimated labor time, and the type of job we are doing. If the cost of the repair exceeds the value of the instrument, we offer what options or products we have and give you a complete picture of the situation before you make any decisions.

What we are looking for during an estimate:

• Pads that may need to be replace

• Adjustments for woodwind instruments

• Any bent keys or slides

• Fitting of tenons

• Any solder points that my need attention

• Dents and valve positioning for brass

• The cleanliness of the instrument

• Repair value and instrument value comparison

Repairs we offer:

• Adjust & Regulate - minor adjustments and repairs to make a woodwind functional again.
