Instrument Service & Repair
Instruments are no small investment, but when you take the time to have them properly serviced and repaired, they can last for years—even decades! At Music Source, we want to help you keep your instruments in pristine condition and performing for you for years and years to come. That’s why we offer a variety of different service and repair options for various instruments. In addition to guitar repairs we also service PA systems, amps and speakers (at this time we do not service wireless systems). Have a woodwind instrument that needs repairs? Please bring it into our repair shop our experts are happy to help.
