Doctor Note

Mark is the man...great repairman and saved me while my band was traveling through KC. So great to find a professional technician and a well-stocked woodwind and brass store while away from home; we touring musicians depend on it!

Excellent shop for repair. Several people recommended Dr. Note to us and it was easy to see why they did. It's a little bit of a drive for us, but completely worth it. He was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. My son's alto sax repair was done on the spot while we waited and for a very reasonable price. We will definitely go back.

I've taken both my saxes to Dr. Note for repair. He is very nice and a professional repairman. He was able to fix my issues on the spot quickly. He is also very personable and took some time to chat for awhile . He is the ONLY guy i will let touch my saxes. I would highly recommend him. He is as good as they come as far as I'm concerned.

Our daughter has had Clarinet lessons at Dr Note for 4 years. We've found her teacher and the owner to be most pleasant, patient and reliable.Several times we've had our instruments tuned and maintained, never has there been a charge for these minor adjustments and advice.There also is a full instrument repair service in house.

I've had multiple horns worked on here. Every time I come in, I've been very warmly welcomed by the staff. I primarily get my saxes worked on by Mark Farmer. His work is amazing. Every horn I've had there feels like it was made specifically for me after having it worked on their. He also is very fast. Replacing multiple pads, neck cork, and felt within just a few hours. I can very confidently drop off the horn knowing that if I go out to eat, I'll get an iMessage telling me he'll be done in a few minutes and I can come pick it up. They also have a massive selection of mouthpieces, reeds, neck-straps, and a few horns on display at all times. Plenty of books to practice out of, and a sizable practice rooms. They make sure you walk out happy. Always encouraging me to play the horn to make sure it feels right before I leave. I plan on coming back whenever I need work done. This is the best place for any player who wants the best out of their horns or wants to find a place that lets you try the mouthpieces. Not many places in the area that let you try the piece before you buy it, or even have the pieces in store. 100/100 rating. Perfect place for all of my saxophone needs. Always tells me what wrong with my horn. Even if I come in thinking I only have a small issue, if there are any more issues, they'll let me know and the price is amazing for how clean the repairs are.

I've been looking for a good technician to repair my saxophone, and a good friend recommended Dr. Note. I had what I believed would be a complicated and expensive job with some intonation problems, but when I got my sax out of the case last night, it sounded better than it had in years.He was a nice guy. He was very professional, and he got the job done within 48 hours for a very reasonable price. I plan to make him my go-to repair guy, and my sax will sing his praises for a long time.

Doctor Note came highly recommended and I can now see why.I took my wooden clarinet to them.They were very professional. They were excellent and thorough in their assessment of what was needed and what was NOT needed for repair.They were very personable as well.I would highly recommend Doctor Note to everyone.

After finding Doctor Note online and talking to Mark on the phone, I drove 30 minutes to the store. I had a flute that needed to be looked at and adjusted. I did not purchase the flute from Dr. Note only because I did not know about them at the time I bought the flute. Mark fixed the flute while I waited, which took about 5- 10 minutes, and did not charge me! I was expecting to pay, but what a nice thing to do. Made my day. Dr. Note has a new customer! Oh and for those that may not know, many shops offer repairs but then send you instruments out for repairs. They don't tell you this unless you ask. One time I waited over a month to finally get a flute back from another shop, Having onsite repairs and knowledgeable staff is very important to me.What a great find!
