Don Caine was very professional and his expertise in repairing singing bird boxes is excellent. He…read moregave me an overview of the repair charges and based on the repairs needed to the two boxes was spot on to the actual price I paid. He even made a key for one of the boxes which was missing. He detailed the exterior of the boxes and placed in purple pull bags and mailed back to me and they looked brand new. The bird in each box operated perfectly with the bird chirping and turning body and opening beak. He included proper instructions as to maintenance and storage. I was very impressed with his fast and reasonable fee and will be using him again for my other bird boxes that need repair. He works on all music boxes and bird boxes and is a specialist for Reuge made products. I am a totally satified customer! Thanks, Don Caine

You save me a lot of travel time, by offering an afternoon repair. 1.What is amazing is the clearer, brighter tones I get, particularly in the throat tones and the Bb (thumb and forefinger) and highest register. 2.Wobble is gone. I have greased the cork and am being carefull as I put it together. 3.Low register C# key/high G# works smoothly, the "catch" is gone. 4.Most important - the low E to F# (left little finger to right little finger) now works perfectly, the delay and muddled tones as I changed notes are gone. New pads and the small spacer pad seem to have soved my problem. My original pads looked terrible and changing them made the difference. The dirt between the keys was absolutely surprising. Jay

As soon as I walked into the store, a staff member greeted me and offered help--even though he…read morelooked busy handling some paperwork. He asked what I needed, and I explained that my acoustic guitar had a broken peg tuner. I already had the replacement part with me, so I handed it over. Instead of jumping straight into recommendations or upselling, he immediately tried to fix it on the spot. Once he confirmed it was repairable, he quickly cut the string, replaced the tuner, and got everything back in place. The whole process took less than 10 minutes! I live in Carson, so driving out to Lakewood and getting it fixed the same day was such a relief. This guitar isn't for professional use--it's for my daughter who's just starting to learn--so having it ready right away saved me a lot of time and hassle. He even tuned it by ear in seconds, which was really impressive. Overall, a smooth and pleasant experience. I really appreciated the quick, no-nonsense service and would definitely come back again for future repairs!
