FAQ

How much does saxophone repadding cost near Stuart, FL?
Alto saxophone full repads typically run $300–$600; tenor and bari range higher. A basic setup and regulation (without a full repad) is considerably less. I'll give you an honest quote after seeing the horn — either in person or from a detailed description and photos.
How long does woodwind repair take?
Minor adjustments (regulation, single pad replacement, key bending) can often be done within a few days. A full repad takes 1–2 weeks depending on pad availability and current workload. Rush service is available if you have a deadline — mention it when you submit.
Can you repair instruments from school band programs?
Yes — school band instruments (flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone) are common repair jobs. Student-line instruments are worth repairing in most cases, especially if the instrument is otherwise in good condition. I'll tell you honestly if it's not worth it.
Do you repair pianos as part of instrument repair?
Piano tuning and action work is handled as a separate service. For piano tuning, see the Standard Piano Tuning page. For comprehensive piano care including preventive maintenance, see GrandGuard Piano Concierge.
Is it better to repair or replace my instrument?
Depends on the instrument's age, manufacturer, and the scope of damage. For quality instruments (intermediate or professional grade), repair almost always makes financial sense. For entry-level student instruments with major structural damage, replacement might be more practical. I'll give you my honest take when I assess it.
