We offer a variety of services to our musical clientele in the Long Beach and greater Southern California areas. In fact we have customers that span the globe.

Our in-store repair center features state-of-the-art repair equipment and skilled technicians hard at work five days a week. Our repairmen can do anything from minor repairs and adjustments to major overhauls, restorations, and conversions. We also offer custom services for your instrument – do you want to design a new valve? Let us know!

We sell only quality brass, woodwind, and stringed instruments; you will not find “junky” instruments for sale here. Since we repair what we sell ourselves, we refuse to be bothered with cheap, inferior instruments. Besides, playing music with a quality instrument is so much more enjoyable!

Our merchandising includes accessories for every wind player, string player, percussionist and guitarist from valve oil to mouthpieces to music stands. In other words, everything a band and orchestra musician needs but the kitchen sink!

Can't afford a new, quality instrument? Not sure if your student will stick with it? Why not try renting? We rent only quality musical instruments that have been serviced by our expert repair technicians. Plus, you can apply the first six months of your rental to the purchase of a new instrument.

Our eclectic collection of sheet music is always being expanded. We even sell CDs of local recording artists playing their brass pieces.

Our friendly and knowledgeable staff members are musicians themselves! And many of them offer private lessons at our store.

Our mission is to serve all the needs of band and orchestra musicians. If you have a need that is not addressed on this website, please contact us – you never know what we can do for you!
