Workshop FAQs & Pricing Details
How much will my instrument repair cost?
Because every instrument's wear patterns and structural tolerances differ, we do not issue fixed generic prices online. We charge an honest baseline shop bench rate plus the cost of premium replacement parts. A clear, guaranteed estimate is always provided for your approval before our technicians begin any work.
Do I need to book an appointment to drop off gear?
No formal booking slot is needed for initial drop-offs. You can bring your equipment straight to our Crawford Street trade counter in Newport anytime during standard weekday operating hours. Our showroom support staff will log your specifications directly into our tracking management system.
What happens if an instrument is deemed unfixable?
If an entry-level student instrument has sustained catastrophic damage where the structural repair costs outpace the real cash value of the item, we will be completely honest with you. We will walk you through the most cost-effective solution, whether that means a partial salvage or finding a reliable, affordable retail upgrade.
Can you handle priority or rush turnaround work?
If you have a critical ABRSM grade exam, a theatrical production curtain call, or a studio booking deadline approach, please alert our workshop technicians immediately upon arrival. We proactively rearrange scheduling blocks to help accommodate emergency gig setups whenever possible.
Ready to book your instrument inspection?
