At Music Showcase, we are skilled in handling a wide variety of percussion repairs. From changing a drum head to replacing a timpani tuning pedal, mending a cracked shell or repairing a hoop, we have experienced staff to help you. If your drums aren’t getting the right sound you are looking for or your snare drum doesn’t have that crack…bring them into our store and we can set you up with the right heads and tuning. Most repairs are performed in our repair facility, but occasionally an onsite repair for larger percussion items is necessary. We visit public, private, charter, and magnet schools, as well as universities, to pick up and deliver repairs, supplies, music, etc. If you have a marimba, xylophone, vibraphone, timpani, gong, or other large percussion equipment that needs an on-site visit, simply call and schedule a time. Should you need us to visit your school for any reason, please call, e-mail or talk to your Music Showcase school representative- we are here for you! Let our years of experience work for you.
