We offer complete restoration and repair services. With more than 30 years of repair experience, we have several guiding principles when evaluating and repairing an instrument. First, the more original you can keep an instrument, the better. Second, the less you have to do to make it that way, the better it is. Read more about our Repair Services.

We offer written appraisals. For a complete and accurate description we prefer to see the instrument. We will appraise from photographs, but this will be indicated on the appraisal.

We accept instruments for sale on consignment. We also purchase instruments outright and accept instruments in trade. It is our policy to sell instruments in good working condition. Therefore, we do not sell instruments in "as is" condition except in very rare instances. If a consigned instrument needs work before it is salable we will let you know what it needs and the cost of the repairs. Payment for necessary repairs will be deducted from your net when the instrument sells. We believe this policy helps to fairly represent your instrument, and allows us to stand behind everything we offer for sale.

We purchase instruments for restoration and repair, and for parts. Please let us know if you have an instrument languishing for want of repair. We are interested!

If you will be sending us an instrument for sale, consignment, trade or repair, call us for shipping instructions.

We stock CDs of mostly acoustic music from mostly independent companies. We also stock books, DVDs and accessories. A number of instructors offer lessons for many of the instruments we handle (sorry, fresh out of tiple teachers) and we give referrals as well.
