Instrument Repairs
We have been repairing instruments for the last 40 years and have over 100 years worth of experience repairing brass woodwind and stringed instruments within our workshop and also provide keybaord repairs!
We have worked on almost any instrument you can think of and always try to save rather than replace.
If you would like your instrument repaired or restored please contact us to arrange for a quotation for the repairs. We need to see the instrument to be able to accurately quote, so please arrange to bring this in when our team are available.
We are often able to arrange collection and delivery for repairs and services on a regular basis. This includes schools, groups, bands and educational authorities as well as individuals. If you require your instrument(s) to be collected and delivered please contact us to arrange this.
Please find below the prices for our guitar repairs.
