REPAIRS WE COVER
Adjustments
We are happy to take a look at a saxophone for minor repair needs. Whether you have an issue with a pad or need help with a troublesome tenon cork, we are here to help! Many saxophone adjustments can be repaired the day you come in. We do our very best to get your saxophone back into playing condition quickly.
General Maintenance
Saxophones should be maintained by a repair technician at least once a year. At this time, it is a great option to fully disassemble, clean rods and hinge tubes, replace necessary key silencers and up to 4 pads, check the seal on all pads and regulate the horn. Our saxophone specialists do a great job tailoring their play testing to ensure a fine-tuned instrument. Key polishing is an added labor cost.
Professional Set-ups
Our repair specialists understand the attention to detail professional players look for. They will take the time to work through your requests whether it be key height, spring tension or anything else! We want your saxophone playing and feeling great and we’ll keep working until it’s right.
SERVICE OPTIONS
Daily Walk-in Repairs
Thanks to our larger repair staff, we are more readily available to service the day of. We recognize that convenient access to a knowledgeable woodwind repair staff is important to you, and we look forward to seeing our local customer base and visitors as you need our expertise. These convenient Walk-In Repairs will be limited to one hour maximum bench time. We’re confident that when you do need more work done to your instrument than a ‘quick fix’, there are ample options to help get you back into practice, rehearsals and performances with ease!
By Appointment
Our Appointment System has proven to be a great way for busy players to plan repairs in advance. Tori, our Clarinet Specialist and Repair Scheduling Coordinator, would be happy to find an appointment availability that works for you! Do note that as busier seasons near, we may not have as many appointment slots available. It’s always good to call in advance and see what repair option fits your needs best.
Regular Repair Queue
The Regular Repair Queue is still up and running! For schools and overhaul needs, our rolling repair wait time is another suitable option when getting your instrument serviced. Our appointment system and regular repair queue are the most cost effective way to have your instrument repaired at MMI. Call for details about our current wait time.
