How much does _____ cost?
Please see the services page. Many services have a “starting at” price because it’s often difficult to assess the repair without seeing the instrument in person.
I just put these strings on. Can you use them for the setup? They’re not that old.
I use brand-new strings for all setups. Using new strings eliminates any issues that old strings can cause. I can’t guarantee my work using old strings. I realize bass strings can be rather expensive so I return used bass strings with your instrument.
Are you looking for help/an apprentice/an intern?
I don’t have enough work to warrant an employee or assistant of any kind. However, I’m happy to share knowledge and will answer as many questions as I can.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Please bring your instrument, a case for storage (hardshell is preferred if you have one), any parts you want installed, and a package or two of your desired strings. If you are unsure what parts or strings you should have, please contact me beforehand. I’m happy to make recommendations. I also have some strings on hand for purchase with your repair.
Do you take credit cards or checks?
I do not. I prefer cash, but will accept Venmo and PayPal.
When do I pay?
Payment is due when you pick up your instrument.
I’m a UNC student. Do you have any parking spaces for rent?
No. My shop is in my house, and parking is extremely limited. There is no room for another vehicle. Luckily, you can ride public transportation in Chapel Hill for free.
