Every instrument we service gets the care it deserves, from setup to restoration.
Our specialty is boutique and vintage maintenance and restoration - work that preserves each instrument’s value, beauty, and playability for years to come.
While we can’t take on every general repair, we’re always glad to discuss complex projects or intricate work that requires an artisan’s touch.

Joe Klompus
There's likely no Boston-based musician who doesn't know the name 'Joe Klompus' as a barometer of friendliness, taste and knowledge.

While we've been representing Glenn's brilliant Retrograde Guitars since 2018, his experience with repairs and restoration work goes way back (and deep): Glenn was the finish department foreman at Santa Cruz Guitars for close to 10 years; was in charge of French Polish restorations for renowned classical guitar maker Kenny Hill; and worked closely with luthier Bill Tippin in his shop.
Holly Daniels
Holly is the newest member of the repair staff and performs setup work for in-store instruments, trades and consignments, and of course, customer's instruments.
