Yamaha Electric Pianos & vintage synths (Roland & Korg) 

With many success of reviving older vintage synths and production pianos we carry a large stock of Yamaha parts.  We also service many Korg and Casio pianos.  Vintage equipment has also included old drum machines, sequencers such as the Korg NS10 where we have the skill and parts to remedy the older analogue circuits.  We have vast arrays of schematics and service documents and limited spares of vintage synth parts.

Valve Guitar amplifiers

We cover most commercially made valve and solid state amps and the majority of hand built and custom higher end brands, Badcat, Fuchs, Bartel, Two Rock, Friedman, Carr, Cornell, Mesa / Boogie

We have great relationships with most of the boutique builders and are one of only a few companies left who take on the more complicated Mesa repairs, things like the Triaxis rack unit, and some of the more complicated amps such as the MK V.  We’re also one of few UK warranty centers for Badcat, and also look after a few high end music shops who sell high end amplifiers.

Technics 1200 / 1210

From the success of repairing many vintage equipment and frankly preferring the quality and ability to repair older equipment we have found a market after our own heart, supporting many drum and bass artists, bedroom DJ’s and northern soul wedding DJ’s we repair and service Technics decks of all varying ages and conditions.  Most have the same story of being in the loft for 20 odd years having had a family and they found them recently and have got back into vinyl.

Know exactly where your repair journey is at...

Some people may see a ticketing system as a cold fronted non caring customer interface used by large organisations to get lost in.  

As a small business and in an effort to keep up with demand, we use a ticketing system.  Our difference is that we use it as a tool to help speed up repairs and keep you informed at all times! The result, faster, better value and clear precise information at every step! 

 

Communication is key

At every step you’ll get updated with an email or online ticket, from dropping off your amp, to when it’s on the bench, if we’re waiting for parts and to let you know it’s repaired.

We like visuals and the picture to the right is a typical day for us, much like a traffic light system we can easily see what is outstanding, what needs doing.  Not only do we see the overall state, but you can too for your individual repair! 

 

What does this mean for customer service? 

As long as we have the parts and spares on the shelf we can generally repair most equipment within a week.  If we can’t repair it you’ll know straight away that we’ve ordered parts or awaiting for manufacturer advice.
