Maintenance and Repairs

String instrument lost its tone? Guitar hurts your fingers to play? From restringing to restoration of a valued instrument, our shop can help. Professionals and beginners can take advantage of a full range of services for stringed instruments including guitars, basses, violins, mandolins, banjos, and much more. Our string instrument technicians are some of the most experienced in the Halifax-Dartmouth area, and well-known in the industry. We can also do improvements and modifications, such as adding a pickup or preamp to your acoustic guitar, or swapping the standard pickups on your electric guitar for something more to your taste.

We also have technicians who can help if you have a more specific instrument or problem that needs attention. We can repair woodwind and brass band instruments. We also provide service for electronics like amplifiers, speakers and effects.

Whatever your instrument repair needs, we’ll get it expertly repaired at competitive rates and we’ll get it back to you fast.

Do It Yourself

Since we do so many repairs, we carry lots of parts to get the job done. People looking to fix their instruments on their own or just make one from scratch can find just about everything they need to turn their projects into music makers. Look for tuning machine heads, pick-ups, bridges, nuts and saddles. From fret wire to output jacks, get quality parts and pieces that make playing easier and more fun. Even if it’s just a strap button, you’ll be able to make your favourite instrument shine.
