Services
As a musician myself, I understand the passion we have for our instruments. I will always treat your instrument with the same care and respect I would show my own. Standard setup work is typically completed within 5 business days.
All repairs are backed by a 30 day guarantee.
Note: Below are base prices, actual cost may vary upon visual inspection of the instrument. Schedule an appointment for most accurate quote.
This is a list of the most commonly requested repairs. Additional repairs are available upon request. I currently offer minimal finish work, but this, like other services will expand as my shop and business continues to grow.
Thank you! I look forward to meeting you and your instrument!
