Brass & Woodwind Repair Warranty
YOUR SATISFACTION IS GUARANTEED

Repair Warranty Policy

We want our repair customers to be happy, have an instrument that functions the way they want as a result of working with us, who will happily return in the future for later repair needs and tell their friends to visit us too. That is why we guarantee our repairs.

 

The Sleister Music Repair Satisfaction Guarantee:

“If you are not happy with how your instrument plays or looks after having us repair it, we will make it right by first doing a second pass to fix whatever was not right with the initial work. If we are unable to re-repair it to your satisfaction, we will then refund your money. Please inspect the instrument when you get it back from our shop to make sure that it functions the way you want it to. This helps us ensure you are satisfied with our work.”

  • Brass & woodwind instrument cleanings- 3 months

  • Newly installed woodwind neck cork, tenon cork, or key corks - 18 months

  • Newly installed woodwind pads- 12 months for bladder pads, 18 months for synthetic or leather

Exceptions to the Warranty
