For most work we charge a flat rate fee of $75 per hour. Minimum bench charge is $50. Materials and supplies are billed extra at our cost. There is no fee for storage or humidification.
Whenever a repair involves string removal, a new set of Curt Mangan strings will be installed… unless you have supplied your own preferred string set. The fee for our strings is $15 – $50 (depending upon brand and model.) In addition to Curt Mangan we carry selected D’Addario, Elixir, and Martin string sets. We usually have a fairly comprehensive collection of single strings on hand. Other brands (Rotosound, Thomastic-Infeld, Ernie Ball, DR, etc.) can be supplied upon request but usually involve a delay due to the special order.
