How Repairs Work

1

Drop Off Your Instrument

Every repair is unique.  Bring your instrument in to our downtown Elkhart store during business hours. You can drop it off and our expert will assess the issue, sometimes on the spot... sometimes it might take a closer look.  

2

We Get to Work

Once you approve the repairs, our experts will get to work. We'll handle everything from full setups to complex restorations. We'll keep you updated on progress and let you know if anything changes.

3

Pick Up & Play

We'll notify you when it's ready. Pick it up, test it out - we insist! And get back to making music. Every repair is backed by our quality guarantee, but please - we need to test it in store before we send it home.

Common Questions

How long does a repair take?

Simple repairs like restringing may only take a day or two-day. More complex work like repadding or dent removal typically takes 3–7+ business days. We'll give you a timeline upfront.

Do I need an appointment?

No appointment needed for drop-offs. Just bring your instrument during store hours. For major repairs, calling ahead helps us plan.

How do I track my repair?

After we assess your instrument, we can you give you an approximate timeline and we can call or text you when your repair is complete.  

Do you repair school band instruments?

Absolutely. We work on all student instruments — clarinets, trumpets, flutes, trombones, you name it. We can also coordinate directly with your school's band program.

What brands do you service?

All of them. Yamaha, Bach, Selmer, Buffet, Fender, Gibson, Maple Leaf, Casio — if it's an instrument, we'll work on it regardless of brand.
