Report
I literally just left with my sax and am so happy I found this place. It's run by a father and son, both of whom are absolutely lovely, and they got my sax fixed in a jiffy for next to nothing. My experience was awesome and I'm definitely going to use their services again and again in the future. Thank you guys so much!
