Summer Ideas

Make sure your instruments are in good condition for the fall!

Some instruments are a little out of adjustment from many years of use and may benefit from a minor adjustment. After June 11th, please take them into your local repair shop and ask the shop to look at the instrument and make sure it's in good working condition. Please make sure to take band instruments into shops that specialize in band instruments and orchestra instruments into string specialists.
