We are open for door-side drop-off and pick-up during the pandemic. If you need repair work done on your instrument please call or email us. We will set up an appointment for you.

If you are interested in purchasing a musical instrument from us, call or email us. We offer a 7-day return privilege for a full refund if you are not satisfied.

If you need to rent an instrument, or return one your are currently renting, call or email us. We'll work it out for you.

In the meantime, please stay healthy!

Here is the drop-off/pick-up protocol during the pandemic:

Please do not play your instrument for 3 days leading up to your drop-off. The virus is carried by respiratory droplets, and that is what will be in your instrument after you play on it. As far as we know, three days is about the limit of viability for the virus, so please, do not play your instrument for 3 day before dropping it off with me.

Please try to be on time for your drop-off. When you arrive, try to park your car directly in front the the shop (1652 Whitney Avenue, Hamden, CT 06517). Call me (203-288-1757) to let me know you have arrived. I will meet you just outside the shop door for you to hand over your instrument to me. After looking at your instrument I'll send you an estimate of the repair cost and when I can return it to you.

When I have finished the repair I will invoice you through PayPal. You do not need to have a PayPal account. You can pay the invoice with any credit card on PayPal's secure platform. PayPal will issue you a receipt for your payment and, if you request it, I can email you a receipt from the shop.

Once you have paid for the repair, call or email me to set up a time for pick-up. Please follow the same instructions for drop-off. Call me to let me know you have arrived and I will meet you just outside the door to hand it over to you. If you can, try playing the instrument in your car, to make sure it meets your expectations. That way, if there is a problem you can bring it back and I'll tweak it while you wait.

I know, it's complicated, but I'm trying to keep us both safe during this crazy time. I appreciate your cooperation.
