REPAIRS & PURCHASING..... New and 2nd Hand Instruments:I have worked for various Music Shops since 1998 repairing and selling New and 2nd Hand instruments. I have purchased instruments from suppliers from USA, UK and other parts of world, 2nd hand and new. I restore instruments and sell for very reasonable budgets. For example I recently purchased wooden clarinets from USA and restored to new condition and selling between $300-$800 depending on brand and quality. Some of these clarinets I have just checked and they sell over $1000.

SERVICE TO YOU:You may ask why I am so cheap. I am trying to build a business and the best way to do this is to provide a great service to customers. I am also going to provide 12 month warranty to instruments I sell in Sydney with possible free pick up depending where pick up is. There will be NO Free pick up from outer parts of Sydney or Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide etc... all you have to pay for is delivery . You will only pay for repairs for instrument that is damaged. If I don't have an instrument listed that you would like to obtain contact me and I can do some research for you on cost etc...

NEW INSTRUMENTS ....I have purchased New Instruments from Blossom Musical Instruments for my own schools from 2003. They have a vast range of Brass, Woodwind, Strings and accessories. I have found these instruments are of the highest quality that doesn’t blow your budget. They have Hire & 12 Month Purchase Schemes (Condition apply) ,which means you actually can own instrument at the end of year. They are a family based business which understands the hardships of financing and can offer you service bar none!!! They have a vast supply of spare parts for all instruments, which is a huge asset.
