Quality repairs (including insurance claims) to a few major brands of electronic musical instruments such as digital pianos, professional and home keyboards, floppy disc or disk drives etc. using manufacturer’s original parts wherever possible.
Portable instruments such as home keyboards, synths, stage pianos etc must be brought to me for repair. I’m afraid that I do not have time to collect or return goods. I live just outside Guildford in Surrey. Please look up Guildford on a map to see where it is. If it’s too far for you to come then please don’t ring me!
Work can be carried out in your home for non-transportable instruments. Please note that if you are able to bring e.g. the top of your electronic piano to me this will make your repair much cheaper.
ORGAN REPAIRS – I used to repair all makes and models of home organ but as the demand for this has dropped from 30 repairs a week to 5 or 6 repairs a year I have decided to stop doing these altogether.
Now I am limiting my repairs mainly to Roland, Technics, Yamaha, Korg and a few others. Consequently most of my service manuals and spares are for sale.

IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING REPAIRS AND “SERVICING”
Despite what some music shops and other repair centres may have to say,
most electronic musical instruments do NOT need “servicing” they only need attention when they go wrong.
Modern electronic musical instruments do not need regular “servicing” as it is not possible to carry out any “preventative maintenance”.
It is a complete waste of money e.g. to have your piano’s contacts cleaned or changed if the instrument is playing normally. If it’s all playing ok it does NOT need anything doing to it.
I won’t “service” products because it is wrong to charge people for something which doesn’t need doing.
As the saying goes “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it!”
Also, many of my customers have said that their music shop told them their instrument could no longer be repaired. Most music shops do not carry out repairs so are not really able to advise on this. You would be better advised by someone like myself who is only a repairer because I won’t try to sell you a new one.
