I offer repair and maintenance of woodwind instruments including flute, clarinet, saxophone, and oboe from a small personal shop in Mt Vernon, Iowa.
Proudly serving musicians from Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, and the rest of eastern Iowa, I work directly with each customer. Watch and ask questions, or just drop off your instrument and trust it’s in careful hands.

I took my vintage Gemeinhardt flute to Mike to be refurbished, recorked, new pads,etc. Just went and picked it up today. I could not be happier! Mike was knowledgeable, polite,honest and easy to communicate and work with. I am so excited to give this "brand new" flute to my granddaughter to play and carry music in to another generation!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike was excellent to work with. Quickly repaired our son’s saxophone and even delivered it back to school in time for band.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike did a phenomenal job with my instrument! His skill, attention to detail, and incredibly thoughtful communication are beyond compare. I highly recommend him—you won’t be disappointed.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Service was everything you expect and more. Super friendly, accommodating, and reasonable. I had to drive up from 2 hours away and it was worth every second. I was allowed to sit in on the repairs and we worked through more than just what I went for. 100% would recommend.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike is an extraordinary instrument repair technician who provides one-of-a-kind personalized service. When I brought my dysfunctional bass clarinet to his workshop, he invited me to play it for him—and he was able to diagnose the problem on the spot! It wasn't going to take a long time, so I waited while he worked. He patiently explained what he was doing and even showed me his own unique bass clarinet, which he'd partially built himself. I learned a lot about my instrument (as well as about his career playing in Broadway orchestras), and I walked away with a perfectly functional instrument. Mike fixed what prior technicians completely missed, and I'm impressed and grateful. He's truly an asset to our local musical community....Bring him your woodwinds and see for yourself! (He also offers lessons.)Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend!! Extremely fast turnaround and friendly service! Also, a very convenient drop off and pickup in Coralville! He even went the extra mile to make a video for my beginning saxophonist!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely amazing service by Michael. He was honest about the condition of my saxophone, told me some info about the value of it and its accessories, and did a bit of a tune up on it for me. He could have done all the work I asked him to do and made more money, but he assured me it didn’t need all the work I thought it needed. I need to catch him the next time he’s in town to look at my clarinet. 100% recommend him.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
