I would give Windy's Winds 10 stars if it were possible. I have been playing the flute for 12…read moreyears, with the instrument needing multiple repairs over time. I have seen my fair share of instrument repair shops and NEVER have I come across a repair business with more skill and integrity. Windy fixed issues with my instrument that multiple other repair shops have said were unfixable. My flute has literally never sounded this good. When the flute was returned to me, it had even been polished- so I'm pretty sure it has never looked this good either! Additionally, the value of the services cannot be overstated. The cost of the repairs was very reasonable. In case you couldn't tell, I was incredibly impressed with my experience with Windy. If your instrument needs repaired I feel comfortable and confident saying that Windy is the right person for the job.

The shop is owned and operated by Windy Shaffer. Windy has been repairing wind instruments since 1992. She received her degree in band instrument repair from Red Wing Technical College, Red Wing Minnesota (1996). Specializing in woodwinds and brass repairs, Windy especially enjoys working on double reed instruments and tubas. The shop repairs instruments to top playable condition.

Our 30 year old piano has undergone several moves, and now that we are settled into a new home it…read morewas time to get the piano tuned. We contacted MJ Pianos along with several other businesses providing this service. MJ Pianos was one of two companies who bothered to call us back, and their estimate for the job was the lowest we received. The technician (Jacob) was prompt, courteous and professional. He tuned the piano beautifully and advised us that the piano's pedals were sticking. Since he had another job scheduled, a new appointment was made and the following day he returned to complete the repairs. We received upfront pricing which were promptly completed both times. I would highly recommend this service for anyone looking to maintain their piano with professional assistance.

Evan is an excellent craftsman at the Piano. I'm sure my piano hadn't been tuned/repaired in 30+…read moreyears, and he did a fantastic job. He even came back twice more to install and adjust a new string for me. One visit was months later, once the string had stretched a bit. He was happy to come back and retune it for me. Communication: Evan's work is closer to art than prescribed work. Some jobs take longer than others, and Evan gave excellent notices (via text or call) for changes in schedule, etc. Skill: My piano had a broken string, a broken leg, sticking keys, and 1/2" of dust under the keyboard. Evan didn't flinch, and tackled each problem with confidence. Attention: He noticed the other instruments in the room, and he talked to me about how his tuning would bring my piano to true A440, making my other tuned instruments jive with the piano. I'm glad he understands the "why" of tuning as well as the "how". Thanks, Evan. I'll keep passing your name to friends/family.
