Four Disciplines, One Team

Each discipline has a specialist who leads it, and the three of us are cross-trained, so a tricky repair gets a second look before leaving the shop.

  • Woodwind Repair

    Repads, sticky keys, and the leak you can hear but can't find. Saxophones, flutes, clarinets, oboes, and bassoons.

  • Brass Repair

    Stuck slides and valves, broken solder joints, dents, and full ultrasonic cleanings, from trumpets all the way up to tubas.

  • String and Amp Repair

    Setups, bow rehairs, and crack repair for violins, violas, cellos, and double basses, plus guitars, basses, and amps.

How pricing works

You Approve the Price Before We Start

No surprise charges. Here's what happens from the moment your instrument comes in.

  1. Reach out

    Call, email, or send the form and tell us what the instrument is doing.

  2. We evaluate it

    Free for woodwinds, brass, strings, and percussion. Amps and keyboards have a $56 diagnostic, credited toward the repair.

  3. Get an official estimate

    Parts, labor, and a time frame, all spelled out. No work starts until you approve it.

  4. Nothing added without your OK

    If we find something else once it's open, we call you first and wait for your answer.

  5. Check it, then pay

    You pay for the work you approved, after you've played it. Every repair is backed for 30 days.

Your official estimate lists the labor and any parts your repair needs before you approve it.

Common questions

Repair Questions We Hear Most

  • Not for woodwind, brass, string, or percussion instruments. We evaluate them for free and give you an official estimate. Amps and keyboards have a $56 diagnostic fee, paid upfront and credited toward the repair.

  • That's your call, and you owe nothing for the evaluation. The one exception is the $56 diagnostic on amps and keyboards, which covers the bench time spent finding the problem.

  • Not without your OK. If we find something else once the instrument is open, we call you, explain it, and wait for your answer before doing any extra work.

  • Our goal is one week for most repairs. If your instrument needs parts ordered or more time on the bench, we'll tell you before then, not after.

  • Our shop location is opening soon. Until then, email info@mendersmusic.com, call (303) 578-0086, or send a message, and we'll work out how to help.

  • Bring it back. Every repair is guaranteed for 30 days, and we'll fix the issue for free. The guarantee doesn't cover instruments that have been dropped or mishandled.
