BANDMAN

BANDMAN At BANDMAN, we are committed to providing fast, affordable, and reputable instrument repair, rental, and retail services to you.

Full-Service Music Store & Repair Facility:

BANDMAN offers fast, full-service sales & repairs for string, brass, woodwind, and percussion musical instruments. From minor fixes to complete overhaul work, BANDMAN has the in-store expertise and equipment, as well as the industry's most reputable vendors, manufacturers, and suppliers at hand to keep your instrument looking and sounding great. As inst

rument repairmen, we really like to see older musical instruments come through the shop. We find a certain "heft," consistent sound, and solid craftsmanship in these horns, and believe that in most cases, older horns are worth fixing. Whether you have a vintage "baby" you'd like to return to its glory days, or your children have shown interest in your old student instrument from school, we'd welcome the opportunity to discuss repair options with you. We think you will be pleased at the value BANDMAN can offer, whether a quick fix is in order, or more work is required. We always provide a free repair estimate before any work is done. Instrument Rental:

BANDMAN's rental instruments are previously-owned, but are assured to be in great working order and still offer you the kind of economical solution you've been searching for. Whether you're unsure if a young musician will "stick with it," or you want to save some of the costs associated with purchasing or renting a new instrument, our rental program is a great option for you. All of our rental instruments have been fully serviced by our own repair technicians and are ready to play. All of our programs, policies, and processes have been designed with you, our valued customer, in mind. Contact us today and let us show you what we mean. We believe you'll be as excited as we are! Although our primary mission is to provide quality instrument repairs at affordable prices, we also make an effort to keep your most common accessory items in stock. Please call or stop by the shop today. If we don't have it, we'll do everything we can to get it for you.
