Very friendly. Very professional and knowledgeable. Resonably priced. Had them give me an insurance appraisal on my two piccolos.

The most pro experience I've had in quite some time. Expert customer service and an awesome staff of high level technicians. Thank you for being there for me gents! read more

Made an appointment with Elvis for my son to try out a few alto saxes. When we arrived, he had set up a private room for us. The pics attached are just a few of the saxes from that day. There were way more throughout the try out process. Elvis was so knowledgeable you'd think he himself was a sax player! He allowed my son all the time he needed to make an informed decision so we could buy the sax that is just right for him. Elvis came and went with different saxes offering us water as well. It was such a fun and relaxing event. My son was in awe of all the beautiful instruments--from vintage Selmers to average Yamahas and an out-of-this-world Yani! We couldn't have asked for a better way to make a life-long high-end purchase. No pressure tactics. No sales pushes. Just information and world-class customer service. We finally decided on a sax and Elvis gave us a great price. My son felt great as we left with his new Yani read more

Very nice ppl! Honest and gave me pointers as I'm picking up this new hobby! Thanks again for your help guys!

Came here because my Kazoo wasn't Kazooing and they weren't even phased by me bleeding or my torn shirt(unrelated incident) they just immediately went to work and got it kazootin'. I was so impressed that I brought in my slide whistle and vuvuzela to be custom wrapped with tiny photos of my Grandma's face which they did expeditiously so now I'm fully ready for the funeral. Absolutely fantastic, fast, and professional service with zero questions asked other than about the instruments. read more

Fleming Musical Instruments & Repair - Correct Trumpet Case Latches Installed, High School Style Latches Removed - Musical Instrument Services Near Me - Houston, Texas

Oh wow!! I cannot say enough good things about this store. They explained a few things to me about a flute I had received as a gift and checked it for any wear that may need to be addressed. Thankfully it was still in very good condition. We also had to have some pads replaced on my daughter's starter flute and some major work done on an Armstrong open hole flute that was given to us by a resale shop (the owner claimed it was beyond repair). It took a couple of weeks to get parts in and the guys did find some rust damage. When we got the flutes back, I was completely floored. My daughter's beginner flute- a Geimenhardt closed hole C flute- looked polished and the tone quality was greatly improved. This is a very old flute in need of some TLC. As for the Armstrong- wow. It looks and plays like a brand new flute! I can't believe the fantastic job they have done on it! The final price for the extensive repairs was half of what others had quoted me. Great price for amazing work. I can't thank them enough! read more

I stumbled upon this place and can't be more grateful. I came in to grab few things for my sisters French horn. The staff was professional and very friendly. Thank you to the stranger who blessed me today with a saxophone. read more

OLD-SCHOOL ARTISANS PROVIDING EXCELLENT VALUE & SERVICE: Even at first glance, you'll recognize Fleming Instrument Repair & Sales to be the sort of business which relies upon traditional values that are reflected in their competent, friendly, and cost-effective services & equipment. They are instrument artisans (and musicians themselves, of course) who've stayed in business year after year based on personal referrals and repeat business from serious musicians, both professional and amateur. I'm entirely unsurprised that their Google and Yelp ratings reflect a lot of customer satisfaction. I just received back from them my Bach Stradivarius trumpet that was tarnished and dinged when I brought it to them. After reconditioning it -- with ultra-sonic cleaning, "reachable" dent work, cleaning & flushing of all valves and slides, replacement of corks & felts, greasing of slides, soldering as needed, and hand-polishing of the silver finish to a "like-new" shine -- my instrument is now in optimum condition, both visually and functionally. I also commissioned them to convert my first-valve kick slide (the design of which I find impractically awkward) to a first-valve TRIGGER -- a moderately ambitious upgrade requiring new parts and a great deal of skill to properly install. My new trigger works perfectly, sliding my first valve slide out smoothly at a mere touch of my thumb, and I'll forever after be in better, more consistent tune on those low-register Ds and D-flats on which all trumpets and cornets tend to be naturally sharp. And they sold me a clever new ProTec case to replace my original equipment Bach case that was literally falling apart. The grand total for all this was less than I'd expected -- not cheap, but not overpriced either, and certainly a good value overall. The staff was friendly and light-handed in their recommendations; I was glad to get, and follow, their advice. read more

I had just a great experience here. I had a very minor leak in one of my palm keys on my saxophone and they fixed it for free. It took less than five minutes and was a minor fix so probably don't expect your repairs to be free, but overall the service was so good. It really made my day! I know that this is the place to go if I ever have to get a repair again in the future! read more

I brought in my 1978 Getzen Trumpet for a Ultra Sonic clean and polish. They did a fantastic job. My horn looks and plays like new. I have used many instrument repair shops over the decades and Fleming is at the top. They are knowledgeable and friendly and extremely helpful. I will be using them again for work on all of my vintage trumpets. read more

So, I have my college piccolo that I play a couple of times a year for my alumni band with UT Austin. I haven't had a tune up in at least 27 years, and figured it was due before a performance this summer. Over the years, I thought I had lost some ability in hitting the high notes, but after I got it back today - I found out it wasn't me! The piccolo just needed some work. Thanks so much for a job well done! read more

Disclaimer: have so far only had minor repairs here, not yet familiar with their work in terms of restoration, overhauls, etc. I'm pretty new to Texas, just arrived in Houston at the end of summer 2010. Coming from Los Angeles, I've dealt with a good number of instrument shops, from shitty to great. First off, lemme state that Fleming is a decently small operation (not a chain like Guitar Center) and therefore when you go in, you are often working directly with the owner or at least someone emotionally invested in the business. The first time I walked into the shop was during my lunch hour on a monday. My trumpet's (normal bach strad) spit valve someone popped loose on one side of the coil. I handed it to the kid working at the front, he took it into the back, and returned 5-10 mins later with a new spring-coil-thingy installed. I asked him how much i owed, he said don't worry about it. That shit doesn't happen everywhere... read more

Granted I've only got a minor adjustment done. Was visiting Houston and had to perform that day. Some felts came loose on my tenor saxophone, and wanted to tweak for any minor leaks. I've had the lower stack keys on the sax adjusted multiple times, by well-known techs, and never quite played right. These guys fixed it on the spot, and I must say it plays perfect! Plus they charged very little. If I were local this would be where I'd take my horn. read more

So helpful with our flute repair! Really appreciate the knowledgeable and prompt advice. Thank you!

About a year ago had a few repairs and a thorough cleaning done on my primary French Horn (Yamaha YHR-668). The work was fantastic so also had them do a thorough cleaning on my Chamber music horn (Vintage Elkhart Conn 6D). This year took my horns in for a tune up. They had a new Yamaha YHR-671D in stock and I liked it so much I put both my old horns on Consignment with Fleming. Steven was great to work with. Also was excited to find they had the Yamaha horn in stock and the price was better than what I could have purchased it online for. No shipping hassles and the opportunity to play before purchase. Doesn't get any better than that! read more

I had a broken valve guide on a low brass instrument. They fixed it on a short turnaround and also greased my slides, oiled my valves, and cleaned by mouthpieces as a cherry on top. My experience was that this is a great local business! read more

We've had the pleasure to meet Tristan when looking for a used saxophone. We really appreciated his patience and his knowledge. Highly recommend the place and Tristan. read more

I bought a used trombone for my oldest son. We are very pleased with Fleming and specifically with Tristin. I was very uncomfortable making such a big purchase online (from Boston) especially since I'm not very musical myself. The trombone arrived exactly as advertised. Tristin advised us correctly about the case, was knowledgeable, helpful, very communicative and even went out of his way to ensure that my son received his hard earned present on his actual birthday. read more

I drove from North of the Humble area because the reviews here were so promising. I went into the shop to repair a broken water key on my trumpet and was surprised at how quickly the repair was made. I decided to get the horn completely overhauled (sonic cleaning, polishing, dent removal, etc.) and the horn was ready in about 2 days and the results are amazing. The work they did on my horn made it look brand-new and they waived the repair fee for the original repair. I don't know if there's a better place in Houston for instrument repairs. read more
