I have been working with the Buraks for almost a decade. They have always produced quality work and…read moreprovided excellent customer service. I worked with Nicholas a few weeks ago because my cello was in dire need of repairs. I got my bridge, soundpost, and strings replaced, as well as a seam repair, for a very fair price. Nick was communicative the whole process. Edward (my cello) came back as good as new. My previous cello was made by their luthier, and it is still in excellent condition. I am very fond of that instrument. I trust Wayne Burak and Associates with my repairs, upkeep, and everything else associated with my instruments. I highly recommend them to anyone.

I was extremely impressed by my experience. It's my experience that if a violin shop doesn't ask…read morequestions about your level of playing, your preference in tone, your budget and so forth, it's not worth a visit. Burak asked all the right questions, brought violins specifically for the preferences I shared. I had his undivided attention for an hour while we went through an impressive number of violins...at least a dozen. He didn't pressure me. He gave me honesty and the freedom to pick an instrument that I enjoyed. He discounted a new case and even offered a free rehair for my bow. Amazing service. A kind man. Tremendous selection. He remembers your name; he makes sure he has your best interest in the center of the sale. I live quite some distance from their shop, but they have a very happy customer.

Went to Rivard and they had everything in stock, provided incredible personal service and I saved money over Amazon's prices. Anything I need for band will be bought here.

I took my trombone here to have a rotary valve fixed. I drove all the way from Waco because I had…read moretried to get it fixed in Waco and they could not fix it. Long story short, these guys refused to let this trombone defeat them. They did a great job and the price was very reasonable in my opinion. They also did a repair on the case and fixed a small dent in the tuning slide. I will not hesitate to go back there in the future. They also carry some really nice instruments for sale and a lot of accessories too. Excellent instrument repair shop!!
