Saxophone and clarinet players:
That little mouthpiece cap in your case has a real job.
➡️Use it.
It helps protect the reed and mouthpiece when you're not playing and can prevent accidental chips and damage. It also keeps the cheese from your Doritos that I've previously mentioned shouldn't be in your case. 🤢

🔹Small piece.
🔹Easy habit.
🔹One less thing for me to repair. 😜

School is back, rehearsals are happening and instruments are getting used regularly again.

This is when little problems start making themselves known.

A key feels different. A valve gets sluggish. A cork gets loose. Something starts making a noise it didn't make before.

Don't wait for "different" to become "broken."
Around here we work on a first come, first served basis, and the repair bench gets busy in the "fall" season.

The school year is just getting started.

Before rehearsals, concerts, and football games fill the calendar, make sure your instrument is ready too. If something doesn't sound right, feel right, or move right, don't wait.

Starting the year with an instrument in good playing condition makes learning, practicing and performing a whole lot easier.

One thing I've learned after more than 40 years repairing woodwind and brass instruments...

Small problems almost never stay small.
A loose screw.
A sticky pad.
A slow valve.
They usually don't fix themselves.

Taking care of them early almost always saves time, money, and frustration.
Stop by the shop to a chat and let us take a look at your instrument.

One of the best things you can do for your instrument takes less than five minutes.

✔ Swab it after playing.
✔ Wipe off fingerprints.
✔ Put it back in the case.
✔ Close the latches.

Small habits help instruments last for years.

Not every playing problem is a practice problem.
Sometimes it's the instrument.

If your child suddenly starts struggling with notes they could play before, it may be time for a quick inspection instead of extra frustration. The shop is open from Monday to Thursday 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM.

After a long day at band camp your instrument would like:

✔️ a swab
✔️ a clean case
✔️ a cool place to rest

Not another hour in the back seat of the car.

💡Here's a little insider reminder. 💡

The busiest repair season is right around the corner. Once school starts, repairs come in fast.

Musicraft has always worked on a first come, first served basis because it's the fairest way to serve everyone. If you've been meaning to have your instrument looked at, now is a great time.
Your future self (and your student) and probably their directors will thank you.

A tiny air leak can make an instrument feel much harder to play.

Many students assume they just need more practice when sometimes the instrument needs a simple adjustment.

If something suddenly feels "off," it's worth having it checked.
