About Music Aid
Who We Are
Music Aid is London’s ONLY Music Store dealing exclusively in Brass and woodwind musical instruments. We do all repairs, from minor adjustments to completely rebuilding and refinishing.
What We Do
We are constantly servicing the local professional and student market with quality repairs to all Brass and Woodwinds. If you are a school teacher, call or E-mail us as the schools are our largest customer and we do repairs within your budget.
We are the only repair shop in Canada which specializes in refinishing Brass instruments. We can rebuild an old beat up trumpet or tuba, completely removing all dents, polish and lacquer it so it looks and plays like new. Our favourite job is rebuilding beat up student Bach or Getzen trumpets to brand new condition. Check out our new "Brushed Brass" finish. This job starts as low as $399 for a trumpet or trombone.
