We needed to get my daughters trumpet fixed - the finger hook broke off. Mike responded to my text right away and was able to fix it in less than 15 minutes the next day. My daughter didn’t have to do without her instrument for even a single day. The other place I called said it would be a week and a half. Mike was very helpful and quite reasonably priced for the repair!
We purchased a trumpet in much need of cleaning. Mike responded within minutes to an introductory text and we were able to get an appointment in short order. As we picked up the trumpet, Mike spent a few extra minutes explaining to my son (new trumpet student) how to properly maintain and adjust the trumpet. Very classy, great value!
Mike does excellent work! He fixed my piccolo trumpet, and it works better now than when I first got it!
The epitome of professional service, craftsmanship, and care in instrument repair. Mike responds to communication virtually immediately, and takes great care to accommodate your needs. Mike is also careful to maintain social distancing protocols upon delivery and consultation.I am a doctoral student at Michigan State and Ive been in NC visiting for a few months. I had been working on a video collaboration project when the hand-brace on my Willson 2900TA-1 euphonium broke free from the solder point on one side. As I had a dealine to meet, Mike gave me a FREE temporary fix so that I could fulfill those obligations; after which we scheduled a permanent repair appointment.I also scheduled a professional cleaning service and valve alignment since it had been a good while since the last servicing. In discussing the needs of my instrument, Mike asked the right questions and took care to be especially conscientious of my preferences. My instrument was returned to me looking stunning, and more importantly, in better playing condition than factory spec. I am ecstatic with this result!If youre in the Raleigh-Durham area in North Carolina, this is where you should bring your instrument for repair. If I ever live in North Carolina permanently, this is where I will be getting my instruments serviced and repaired.
Fantastic work, my valves are fun to play on again, highly recommend. Fast too, my horn was available for same day pickup.
I cant say anything that hasnt already been said in these reviews! Take your instrument here if you need a repair.
I have been taking my instruments to Mike regularly since moving to NC to play in the symphony in Raleigh. Mike is a remarkable craftsman and problem solver. His solder work is exceptionally clean and his fixes are always timely and well thought out. In addition to being a fine tech, Mike is easy to communicate with and a very considerate business person. His customer service and affordability are exceeded only by his ability in the repair shop.
Fantastic purchasing experience! I called with specific questions and Mike helped me out. The instrument arrived well-packed for protection. Definitely would recommend Morse Instrument Repair!
I first brought my Bach 42 trombone to Mike a few months ago for a simple procedure (removing an unnecessary brace) and he was able to resolve the issue quickly for a very reasonable price. At that time, I discussed the possibility of some major valve work that I would later ask him to do. I was having issues with extreme back pressure in the trigger register, and after several discussions of possible solutions, I brought the trombone back to Mike, this time for the more major surgery. Mike reworked the F-attachment tubing, opening up the trigger register completely. It now plays like an entirely different horn: extremely responsive and open with a consistent sound and feel across all registers. He worked with me so that I could bring it to him at a time that fit around my playing schedule. I was only without my trombone from Thursday afternoon to Sunday afternoon, an extremely short time for the amount of work that was done. I know several other musicians who have sought his expertise and they all agree that he does very fine work. Additionally, the trombonists with whom I play regularly are all quite impressed with the work that was done to my trombone and the immediate difference this made. I would highly recommend Mike to any brass player seeking any repair or improvement to their instrument!
I recently took my trumpet, which had been sitting in a closet for 20 years, in for a cleaning and check-up. Mikes work was second to none and very reasonably priced. Im very happy to have such a good repairman so close to my home and workplace.
My son dropped his trumpet on the ground accidentally, the bell dented so bad. Mike did a fantastic job on his trumpet like magic, we are very happy and satisfied. His service is very fast/professional and the price is very reasonable too. I will highly recommend Mike here!
Absolutely fabulous craftsmanship. Above and beyond my picky expectations. Well done, Mike.
Simply put, Mikes work is second to none. He took my heavily used 12 year old horn and somehow managed to make it play BETTER than new. Extremely pleased!!
Mike did a great job on my Edwards B454 bass trombone, quieting the rotors and getting the slide in alignment. The horn plays better now than at any other time that Ive owned it. Thanks, Mike!
Mike repaired several items on my sons 70-year-old cornet for a very reasonable price. Will definitely be back!
Mike repaired a trumpet for me that had a dented and misaligned third valve slide. It plays fantastically now and he got it done really quickly.
Friendly, down to earth and straightforward. Would reccomend for private/individual service needs. Please support your local instrument repair services rather than going to chain repair groups
Mike was forthright with all of the information I needed to get my trumpet chemically cleaned, and finished the job in a timely manner. I recommend his services for brass players.
Did great job on sons trumpet!! Great price too!
I was selling an older horn of mine and needed it brought back to playing condition. This was my first time using Morse Instrument Repair and Mikes work is simply unparalleled. Ill be using his services exclusively from now on.
