Good quality repair work is tied to the success or failure of the musician, whether you're a beginner or a professional.

Jean Carey founded the repair shop at cadenza over 50 years ago and set a standard of quality over all. That standard has been passed down through decades of apprenticeship to make sure all your repair needs are met and then some.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Going to a repair shop that has a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience is invaluable. Seeing the repair technicians at Cadenza for regular maintenance work on my bassoon has been crucial to my practicing and performing.” - Chris Marshall, Bassoonist, Minnesota Orchestra

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “In a school with a high percentage of free and reduced lunch students, we couldn’t afford to overhaul every instrument. Cadenza’s shop is realistic and pragmatic with repairs, and the instruments returned in perfect playing condition with notes and details indicating what has been done with each instrument. Repair staff work quickly and help to make a difference in the lives of the students.”
- Andy Nelson, Instrumental Music Teacher
