I've been looking for a good instrument repair place for 3 yrs now. Mr E's is out of business by…read moreme. Brooks May is average at best. Of course, no one is as bad as Music & Arts know for charging 100% more than usual for instrument repair and who always recommend un-needed rebuilds/overhauls so they increase my bill by 10x. Forte is a breath of fresh air. The owner is a current and former band parent in Mansfield who operates out of his home. Low overhead means low prices. And because he's not a large corporation, he's not looking to get rich off me. I pay $10 per pad replacement with next day turnaround repairs. Music & Arts charges 3x as much and takes 3-4 days to repair ... or longer. If you want to talk to the person repairing your instrument - something you can never do at Music & Arts or Brook Mays - you can do it here. If you like pushy salesman, go to one of the retail outlets. If you like excellent repair from a master-trained technician at fair prices from an honest to goodness real tradesman and artisan, this is the place to go. Highly recommend Louis at Forte.

This review is done of my own volition, on my own time, at my own home and is representative of the work he has done for me and of the work I have seen him complete. Mike Sheriff is a top quality bow maker and repairman. His shop in the back of Mr. E's Music is efficient and often completes minor repairs within 24 hours and major repairs within 48-72 hours. The quality and price of his bow re-hairs is unmatched as far as I have been able to discover, and I've been playing viola in the DFW area since 1996. The bows he creates are of even higher quality. His instrument repair abilities are substantial as well encompassing guitar, violin family, and even electric guitar repair. He can quickly provide high quality repair jobs from minor tasks such as varnish repair and restringing to more complicated tasks such as shaping a new bridge (violin or acoustic guitar), electronic repair work to electric guitars, and repairing cracks, breaks, and holes to severely damaged instruments. If you are looking for a new bow, need repair work done on your bow, or have an instrument that needs repairs Mike Sheriff is the man to contact. Note: The number provided directs you to Mr. E's Music Super Center, as his repair shop is located in the back of the store. Ask for repair or Mike Sheriff and you will be directed to him. Hours: 10:00-7:00 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday 10:00-6:00 Friday

Mike Sheriff is a rare fine craftsman and a wonderful person to deal with. He is professional and…read moremeticulous, fair and exacting, and the DFW area is very luck to have a top quality bow maker in town. Like his bows, he is very responsive and expertly balanced. Famous as a bowmaker, he also makes violins, and his handmade rosin (used, I heard, by the Dover Quartet) is very fresh and high quality. His turnaround time for repairs is very fast, and he is honest and generous with his time and expertise. Five stars and many thanks.

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.

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.
