INSTRUMENT REPAIRS
Even the best maintained and most well cared for instruments will need the attention of a qualified instrument repair technician from time to time. When your child's instrument is in need of repair, it is important that you act QUICKLY. Every day that your child is without a working instrument is a day that he or she will fall behind in their musical development.
If your instrument breaks down, the first thing you should do is talk to your director. He or she may be able to fix the problem without going to the shop. That could be the difference in spending $5.00 or $50.00.
When you take your child's instrument to the repair shop, you can expect the repair to usually take 7-10 business days. Instrument repair technicians offer free estimates before they actually repair the instrument, much like an auto mechanic would. Some repair technicians are able to provide your child with a loaner instrument while your instrument is under repair. If one is not available, you may consider renting a replacement instrument for your child to use while yours is being repaired. When you take an instrument in for repair ALWAYS KEEP YOUR CHILD'S MOUTHPIECE.
Families who currently rent an instrument may have a maintenance plan as part of your rental contract. If this is the case, repairs and routine maintenance on your child's instrument are performed FREE of charge.
