I had a swab dangerously stuck in my oboe and the good people at IBI got it out free of charge! It is a really awesome, and trust worthy family owned shop with excellent repair people!

I’m a professional horn player who needed some urgent repairs on my primary french horn. It had been in a closet for months while I was away performing in a show that required me to play a different horn. Not wanting to spend a ton of money with a french horn guru, since it isn’t all that nice of a horn, I took it to IBI at the recommendation of a couple people. They fixed a stuck slide and two valves on the spot in about a half hour for less than $ 20. I wasn’t expecting that at all, but it was exactly what I needed that day. I also have to say, in the half hour that I was there I overheard their staff helping a few parents who came in looking for instruments for their kids and was impressed by their honesty and customer focused business practices. The people here genuinely know what they’re doing and have built a business that aims to put their customers first, instead of the dollar first. They really seem to understand the school music program world and want to help parents successfully navigate those needs in a way that puts the parents budget and realistic expectations first. A+ experience at Imperial Band Instruments.

I was referred by a mariachi friend of mine and skeptical because this was my 3rd attempt at fixing sousaphone and trumpet valves. I had major overhaul done on both at a different repair shop and the esthetics were acceptable but the freakin’ buttons stuck and valves didn’t slide smoothly, most important part when playing!!! Anyhow I talked and txt Jerry and convinced my husband to check him out. His price to repair both was under $ 100 and although my husband did return because 1 valve on the sousaphone stuck again he was able to quickly fix it and now both instruments are in playing condition, 2 thumbs up! We will return especially for any critical /fine adjustments or repairs.

I always come to imperial band instruments because they always take care of my saxophone needs. I will refer all my friends at Hutchinson middle school to come to IBI. Thank you for always taking care of me.

My daughter recently started a band class and we needed to find a music book and instrument. This store is somewhat very small compared to a big music shop like Sam Ash but the staff is so friendly and kind to explain about what you are looking for. She showed me a rental or buying choice with generous details. We rented a good conditioned flute with Jerry’s help and he showed my daughter how to blow and practice. I really owe them a review.
