The instrument magicians! My daughter dropped her clarinet on the concrete ground right before a Friday night football game. She bent the instrument keys and some piece fell off. Tate Music and Repair fixed my daughter’s clarinet in about 5 minutes. They are excellent! Upon entering the shop, I learned they also rent instruments and visit the high school every Wednesday to perform maintenance repair instruments. I highly recommend this business to all busy parents that love convenience.

Great service. I was worried my son's trombone would not be fixable or at least very expensive. They repaired it very quickly and very affordable. Can't thank you enough. Great job!
