Please read on for details.
For REPAIRS ONLY our doors are open by appointment only for one customer at a time, OR one household at a time.
If you wish to book a repair, please email us to book it in or use our appointment booking service. We will liaise with you to collect your instrument from you or for you to deliver your instrument to our shop at a pre-arranged time. Once completed, we will contact you again to arrange the return or pick up of your instrument. Social distancing will be observed, masks will be required, and we have a protective screen in place too. Hand sanitiser is available and surfaces are regularly cleaned with anti-bacterial and anti-viricide cleaner. Please note, you can only step inside the shop for repairs, not for sales, and our sales area will be cordoned off. Please knock and wait to be let in. Visits are limited to five minutes. Any further discussion can take place on the phone.
We are continuing to offer a click and collect service for remote sales. Please place your order on our website selecting 'pick up' in the shipping option. You will then receive an email from us offering a range of available pick up/drop off times. When you pick your order up, please knock on the door and wait for us to answer. Please remain outside, and wear a mask. Your order will be handed to you at the door. If you cannot attend the shop or are nervous about doing so, do not hesitate to contact us and if you live within a reasonable distance we would be delighted to hand deliver your goods for you.
If you are not satisfied with your purchase then you can return it at a pre-arranged time for a full no-quibble refund, as long as you contact us within seven days of your purchase and are returning the item in unused perfect condition.
