Make Me Your Musical Instrument Dr.
By Appointment Only!

If you're not happy with the way your musical instrument sounds or feels, then your music suffers too! Your audience will not get to hear you at peak performance!

Quality Craftsmanship

Quality comes first! I do not cut corners when it comes to repairing the instruments you've come to love. Musicans to collectors! Beginners to skilled hobyists. My goal is to make you happy you walked in my shop, and, even happier when you leave with a better playing version of the instrument you brought in. It's that look of satisfaction and emotional joy from a client which means the most to me and which keeps me passionate for this craft.

Make Time For What You Love

Your guitar, bass, amp, keyboard, band, or other stringed instruments need love.They also need someone who gets to know them as well as you do, just like a doctor does when it comes to your health and longevity. It should go without saying that you get back more than what you give when you are truly passionate about your musical instruments and make every effort to keep them in top playing condition.

Decades of Experience

I started with guitar as a 7 year old child after watching my first Elvis Presley movie. I had my first music shop in my early 20s. Did my first music column for a local Florida newpaper and did a weekly DJ spot talking about music for a local radio station. We all have out stories of passion. Mine has always been being around music, repairing /selling instruments and making friends with local musicans. 47 happy years in total, thus far.

ALL STRINGED INSTRUMENTS

I've been lucky enough to work on many types of stringed instrument over the years, so I should be able to handle most repairs that come into my shop. There is no need to be shy or hesitation to call me about any type of instrument. I am always happy to see if I can be of help to you.

BAND INSTRUMENTS & WOOD WINDS

I've rented and repaired many band instruments over the years. I had two music shops where I rented to local band students throughout the school districts my shops were lucky enough to win bids on. I became comfortable with keeping them in top-shape throughout the school year and as brand new students took their places.

GUITAR, BASS, KEYBOARD AMPS

I can repair a fair amount of amplifiers that are on the market. I usually stick with tube amps and stay away from integrated circuit boards. This is often due to the high cost of replacements when they are not under waranty. In short, it often cost more than it does to just replace it. Also, replacement times can be long depending on whether the circuit board is in stock or not.

BASIC UPKEEP & REPAIRS

Most instruments need checkups, much like ourselves. Hence the name of this website. Whether it is checking the intonation of your instruments, the ease of playability, customizing them to your personal taste, replacing faulty parts, repairing cracks or blemished finishes that come with age... they are all very important for the investments you've made and the quality of sound they produce for you.
