I've been looking for a good instrument repair place for 3 yrs now. Mr E's is out of business by…read moreme. Brooks May is average at best. Of course, no one is as bad as Music & Arts know for charging 100% more than usual for instrument repair and who always recommend un-needed rebuilds/overhauls so they increase my bill by 10x. Forte is a breath of fresh air. The owner is a current and former band parent in Mansfield who operates out of his home. Low overhead means low prices. And because he's not a large corporation, he's not looking to get rich off me. I pay $10 per pad replacement with next day turnaround repairs. Music & Arts charges 3x as much and takes 3-4 days to repair ... or longer. If you want to talk to the person repairing your instrument - something you can never do at Music & Arts or Brook Mays - you can do it here. If you like pushy salesman, go to one of the retail outlets. If you like excellent repair from a master-trained technician at fair prices from an honest to goodness real tradesman and artisan, this is the place to go. Highly recommend Louis at Forte.
