Repair Bench and Lesson Schedule

Instruments arrive at the bench every week for setups, fret work, crack repair, bridge and nut adjustments, electronics and pickup work, and general restoration. Five-string and tenor banjos, acoustic and electric guitars, violins, violas, cellos, basses, mandolins, autoharps and ukuleles all come through the same door, and used instruments taken in trade are checked over before they go back on the wall.

Lessons run alongside the repair schedule, so a player can book time with a teacher and leave an instrument for service in the same visit. Should you be looking for sign-in guidance for an online brokerage account instead of shop information, the steps are set out on the moomoo account page; everything below concerns the shop itself.
