Have taken my kid's instruments here at least 4 times. They are honest, friendly, fast, knowledgeable, and just all-around good people.

I recently found one of my old brass instruments, the trumpet in storage and recognized the valves were stuck after a decade of sitting, never been professionally cleaned ever, just needed a good service and Seattle Sound Repair came through. 1. I called ahead to ask if I can bring in my trumpet for an estimate for services. 2. I got there, got an estimate for services. I was also informed that I would be notified if the cost would be greater. 3. I did get a phone call that the trumpet for the most part was done but there were other issues (which I knew existed when I first had it over two decades ago) which could be resolved but it'd cost extra. I agreed to it. I figured if I'm going to get it serviced, I should just pay to get it serviced in full and the right way. The communications were timely and transparent. Looking around the place reminds you of a music store Mr. Rogers would have visited. I'm happy there is a brick-and-mortar shop that still performs this craft of repairing instruments. Also, out of all the years I've played this old Yamaha trumpet, it never played so great as it does now. It pays to have a professional service. Of note, best time to go here is in the morning if you drive because there's a good chance you'll find free 2 hour parking. read more

I recently acquired a vintage sax that I knew nothing about, and was in pretty bad shape, and brought it to Seattle Sound Repair. Thanks to Jansen, I now know so much more about the sax, and he's provided me with an honest assessment of the feasibility and expense involved in a major restoration, and am considering my options. I highly recommend Jansen and the team at Seattle Sound Repair! read more

So you blew it! And your horn no longer works. Have no fear, you've found the right place! They did a great job repairing my saxophone. Friendly and fast service and a great price too! Thank you so much! *Ask to see the dungeon, where they keep the misfit horns. It's a haunted house of franken-horns. read more

Very good work at a very good price. They cleaned and repaired our Benge trumpet in a timely manner - Would not hesitate to take any level of musical instrument to them for repair - student rental to Professional. read more

Woohoo indeed! I no longer need Jedi mind powers for low Bb on my saxophone. No more slow and sticky keys, no more leaks, neck tenon and socket finally fit together and tighten, and shiny to boot. Excellent work, good price! Now, back to practicing. read more

This review is overdue as Jansen has been our trusted resource for our son's saxophone for a couple of years now. From maintenance to an overhaul of an older hand-me-down instrument, his work and advice has been the best around. He even offered some encouraging words and tips when our son was struggling with a specific issue with his playing. Jansen is the best! read more

My flute had a factory defect that I wasn't aware of and Sound Repair was able to exchange it for a brand new flute, totally free of charge. Straightforward, easy to work with, excellent customer service! Thank you! read more

As a serious trombone player having access to a great, local repair musical shop with a good turn around time is mission critical - and Seattle Sound Repair is the place to go. Marie did a fantastic job of cleaning my horn and tuning my slide back to perfection. And trust me, I'm very picky about the work performed on my slide. She is a skillful professional that knows and applies her craft well and has won me over for all my future repair needs. I highly recommend Seattle Sound Repair to anyone reading this review. read more

Very knowledgeable! Fixed the trumpet in minutes; they had all the parts they needed right there on-site. Very friendly. And the price was extremely reasonable. Will take all my needed repairs here! read more

Took my baritone saxophone in for some TLC, honestly didn't give a great description of what needed to be done, but my horn came back playing better than when I bought it. Jansen fixed some things I honestly didn't realize could be adjusted. Prices were incredibly reasonable, too! Can't wait to bring more stuff here! read more

Marie is friendly, accomodating, skilled. I rarely (never?) write Yelp reviews, but I have to recommend her. Having two children playing instruments that seem to always need tweaking right before a critical concert, I have come to really appreciate Marie. We've tried two other repair shops with mixed success, and this is where we will continue to bring our French horn and saxophone. read more

Excellent and friendly service. The only place I would consider taking my musical instruments.

Such helpful, personalized service from clear professionals - and the best advice/price I heard from three shops to service my professional quality vintage sax. Outstanding and DEFINITELY recommended. read more

I've brought in instruments from both sides of the aisle, woodwind and brass, and in each case was really pleased with the results. They have a good sense of what really needs to be done, and they do it well and in a timely manner. This is a bona fide 5 star excellent rating. read more

Great customer service, quick turnaround, reasonable pricing. The owner gave me some good tips about maintaining my daughter's french horn and I will be recommending her services to others in need of instrument repair. read more

I was having difficulty with the low notes on my new (to me) alto sax. Took it to Seattle Sound Repair on Stone Way. What a treat it was to discover Marie's excellent and comfortable, shop. Jansen took my horn and proceeded to fix it up, right on the spot. He worked as a true master, and in a short time had disassembled, torched and leveled a pad, fixed the leaks, and quieted a clank. They made me feel at home, and were very helpful with my constant stream of questions and such. My sax plays so smooth and sweet now. I highly recommend their services, and will be back. read more
