Mr Music is a musical instrument repair shop at 449 Waimea Rd in Patons Rock, in the Tasman district, with a Google rating of 5.0.
A good instrument repairer starts by listening and inspecting: what is wrong, how it plays and what is realistic to fix. For guitars, that often means a setup, adjusting the action, intonation and neck, and replacing strings or frets, while brass, woodwind and string instruments need their own specialised care. If you are choosing a repairer, ask what instruments they work on, how long repairs take and whether they give a quote before starting, since older instruments can be worth repairing even when the cost seems high. Regulars have instruments checked before a performance or exam and ask for advice on cases, humidity and storage, as changes in temperature and moisture are a common cause of cracks and warping. Repair shops are often small and work by appointment, so ringing ahead to book is wise, especially before school music terms.
