We stock high quality replacement parts that most general service shops don't. Our state-of-the-art Ultrasonic cleaning system utilizes a safe, environmentally friendly cleaning solution, keeping the instrument free of unnecessary damage, wear and toxic compounds. Instruments are cleaned in the safest manner possible, without using dangerous chemicals or detergents. Our shop employs the most cutting-edge techniques in the servicing and rebuilding of instruments, regardless of need. In our minds, many older instruments are of high quality and well worth repairing. This allows us to reproduce many of these obsolete parts and complete repairs that most other shops wouldn't know what to do with.

Replacement parts that are unavailable, particularly on older instruments, are made in our custom fabrication shop. If the estimate is too high, your cost will be less it's as simple as that. If a given estimate is too low, we'll call you to get approval BEFORE doing any work. All repairs are commensurate with the actual cost of the labor and materials needed. General service repairs are frequently completed within 5 business days, unless parts need to be ordered or special requirements such as gold, silver plating or re-lacquering is requested. Whether a trombone slide needs a complete rebuild or a crack needs to be repaired on a professional wooden clarinet, no job is too big or too small and no instrument, student or professional, leaves the shop unless it can be played comfortably in a professional situation. A requirement of our technicians is that we play music professionally we know how an instrument must feel and respond to play correctly. Our client list includes several large and prestigious school systems, performers featured with the Hartford, New Haven and Boston symphonies, internationally known jazz and classical artists and students of all ages, from beginners to the most advanced.Īt The Music Lab, clients and customers are known by name, not as a number on an invoice.
