I was quoted 2-3 weeks, when I followed up 2 months later they discovered that the unit had been sitting ready for pickup for a long time and no one reached out to me to tell me it was ready. If I had to guess, it seems like the repair folks are swamped with work and that they're constantly asked to prioritize items that are going to the sales floor over local customer repairs. Sad, this used to be my favorite shop in Seattle. Now it feels like they target the tech-salary or boomer collector over working musicians, and all the charm and relatability is gone. Won't be back.

Had been…read morein the case for about 15 years and had some big cracks, needed fretwork, a neck reset, and a new saddle plus some work on the bridge. Richard did an incredible job resetting the neck and I can barely see where the cracks are. The work he did should last for the rest of my life. The guitar is perfectly in tune all the way up the neck and sounds and plays so much better than it did when I first got it. There was a long wait, about 3 months, for the repairs to be finished since he was a bit backed up with work, but the wait was definitely worth it. I ended up spending a bit more money than I thought I would, but these repairs will last for the next 50+ years. Will be taking all my guitar needs to RJW!

I called ahead to ask if I can bring in my trumpet for an estimate for services. 2. I got there, got an estimate for services. I was also informed that I would be notified if the cost would be greater. 3. I did get a phone call that the trumpet for the most part was done but there were other issues (which I knew existed when I first had it over two decades ago) which could be resolved but it'd cost extra. I agreed to it. I figured if I'm going to get it serviced, I should just pay to get it serviced in full and the right way. The communications were timely and transparent. Looking around the place reminds you of a music store Mr. Rogers would have visited. I'm happy there is a brick-and-mortar shop that still performs this craft of repairing instruments. Also, out of all the years I've played this old Yamaha trumpet, it never played so great as it does now. It pays to have a professional service. Of note, best time to go here is in the morning if you drive because there's a good chance you'll find free 2 hour parking.
