Retail Has Moved!

Don't worry, we didn't go far!
The retail shop is now located in the School of Music building, just next door to the old space.
You can access the shop by going up the ramp on the right side of the building.

Please note, the cost of your repairs is dependent on the repair estimate that is determined after your instrument's evaluation and/or customer's requests. Our technician will contact you shortly after your instrument is dropped off to discuss the repairs needed, costs associated, and turn around time.
