  • Tuning, scaling, and calibration issues

  • Noisy pots, sliders, switches, encoders, and jacks

  • Broken keys, worn bushings, key contacts, aftertouch, and velocity problems

  • Battery leakage, corrosion, damaged traces, and previous repair work

  • MIDI, clock, display, memory, and control-interface issues

our approach

We approach synthesizers as both a musical tool and an electronic system, aiming for repairs that are reliable, thoughtful, and preserve the character that makes these instruments worth repairing in the first place.

We always strive to search for the root cause of an issue, not just a quick band-aid solution. While an instrument is on the bench, we will suggest addressing related wear, known failure points, or sensible preventative work that will help us keep future downtime to a minimum.
