5 Star service from Stevie!…read more My daughter came home from school Monday showing me that a piece of her cork came off. Unfortunately for us, she also had an upcoming band concert Wednesday evening. All of the other local music shops told me it would take 4 days to a week or more to repair. I was happy and relieved when Stevie said he may be able to get it done in time, I just needed to bring it in and get evaluated. Thankfully, he was able to complete the repair in time for the concert and we picked up some cork grease as well. Would definitely bring her clarinet back anytime we need a repair or other service done.

I went in they quoted me $90 for a cleaning and shine with an estimate of 1-2 week turnaround time. I was called the next day to inform me the instrument was going to need more then expected and it went up to $160 SAME turnaround time. My very inpatient son after a week in a half asked me to call and get an update. I did but they didn't have an update. A little over 2 weeks I called a they say instrument will be in on Friday. I call they say not ready they will me it went on like that for what felt like for ever.

I recently brought in my luthier made uke and they were able to diagnose why the A string kept coming off. I love going in there and browsing all the books- if they don't have something, they honestly try to get it for you and they have been super patient with me when my accident prevented me from picking up my uke. Had a loooong talk with one of the guys about the great music of the late sixties and seventies and never felt once that i was being rushed away. When music is part of your soul, you can talk about it all day long. Great guys, great service!

I was really blown away by this, and insisted on at least buying something. I came home with a ready-to-play violin and a beautiful new rosin! Thank you, Forte Strings, for such a great experience. Really looking forward to my next visit!

I was looking to have a complete restoration done to a Bach Stradivarius #37 Trumpet that has been…read morestored in its original case and not used in 20+ years. My parents and I recently received it as a gift from my cousin who got it brand new as a kid over 50 years ago. My cousin wanted my teenage son to have it, so he shipped it to us and we decided we would surprise him with it. My son has worked so hard playing for the past several years and we felt he deserves an upgrade from his student trumpet to a professional instrument. I searched for local music repair shops in my area and landed upon Brass Attitude Mobile Instrument Repair here on Yelp. I was intrigued because this company is the only one I came across that offers to travel to the customer's location, provide a quote and pick up and drop off your instrument as part of their service. I sent a message requesting a virtual consultation and Richard was very responsive and knowledgeable- he took the time to answer ALL of my questions as I had no idea the technicalities of restoring an instrument. Richard accommodated our schedule and we set up a time for him to come to our residence to take a look at the trumpet. He offered several options and suggestions for finishes (lacquered, brushed/satin, and silver plating) and brought his own trumpet to show us what a brushed finish looked like. He evaluated the condition of the trumpet very well, shared his own personal experiences as a trumpet musician, and offered great suggestions for how my son can customize the instrument to his liking as he continues playing. Since the trumpet case was not in the best shape, Richard also offered suggestions on the best cases and stated would also be selling them very soon if we were interested in buying from him. He made great recommendations about the best mouthpieces and valve adjustments to fine-tune the trumpet for creating a better sound. Richard identified the dents that needed removal, valve felts that needed replacement as well as corks and screws that needed replacing. He stated he would give the instrument a much-needed "acid bath" to remove rust and other buildup. Richard assured us that the trumpet was in decent shape, but he could make it look better and get it in ready-to-play shape. We agreed to have the work done. Richard emailed a quote to me itemizing the cost of the service he was going to provide and stated that it would be 3-day turn around to complete the work. He kept great communication with us via text and sent us pictures of his work the night before he was scheduled to drop off the trumpet. We paid the invoice online which was in alignment with his initial quote. About 3 business days later, Richard dropped the instrument off this morning and we are very pleased with the work that he did. We can't wait to see the look on my son's face when he receives his "dream" trumpet on Christmas day! Thank you Richard for making this possible for us and we look forward to your expertise when my son decides to have additional customizations.

I had an extremely frustrating experience with the Music & Arts store in Corona and would not…read morerecommend them for instrument repairs. I brought in my kid's clarinet for a simple repair and was told it would be sent to Anaheim with an estimate in about a week. Weeks went by with no updates, and every time I called, the staff kept blaming internal delays and paperwork issues. It took nearly four weeks for the instrument to finally return--and it still wasn't repaired. Communication was disorganized at every step, and no one seemed to take responsibility. To make matters worse, I was charged another rental fee even though I had returned the instrument about a week before the four-week due date. When I raised the issue, the store manager told me to call customer service myself, and it turned out their system never properly processed my return. This was a complete waste of time, with poor communication, constant delays, and billing problems that the store should have handled. If you need a reliable instrument repair or rental, avoid this location.

I called costumer service, I sent my return receipt which has all the details of my return. I was told they can't locate the item. It looks like the rental was lost or misplaced by employees. I don't know what happened to the item after it was returned but I have my proof of my return and it's still not enough. I should not be liable for whatever happened to the rental after it was returned. I file a claim with my bank (pending). Now I am being told I can be sent to collections if the issue is not solved. But what is the issue? And how can I solve it? It looks like a returned receipt with all the details is not enough.
