Testimonials

I was so incredibly impressed and charmed by this shop and its owners! Purchasing a new instrument here was not just a transaction. The owners truly care about what they do and want you to love your new instrument and be successful. They are definitely not just in it for the money. I don’t think they would have let us leave without feeling absolutely satisfied that we knew what we were doing when it comes to my son’s new oboe. Knowing that the oboe is finicky and not a super common choice, they spent extra time (basically a mini-lesson) teaching us both how to assemble the oboe, care for the reeds, clean the oboe, and they helped my son play his first notes. Getting a new instrument is such a special time, and they treated that moment the way it should be, enhanced it, even. Thank you so much for sharing your passion with us! It was our first time, but you’ve made us customers for life!

I had my Gibson Mastertone Banjo originally set up in Nashville but was never happy with the string height. While passing through Idaho falls I stopped by Musicare and Jim Sevy did a super professional job setting it up correctly. If you want to fall in love with your instrument again, take it Jim. Awesome work!!!

If I could give this business 6 stars I would. I bought my first professional instrument there. Since that day, I've always been welcome to drop by for an adjustment here and there. The owner is a fabulous man and an incredibly talented repairman. As long as I live in this area, I'll only go to MusiCare for my instrument's needs.

I have been taking my saxophones to Musicare for regulation and repair for many years. Their work is top notch. They are also always willing to take a quick look at my instruments and have even made a quick minor modification or two at no charge!

I’ve had every guitar I’ve owned set up by the guys at music care with the exception of one that I had to take to them to have reset up because the other guys did a horrible job! I’ve had amps worked on by them as well as select woodwind instruments of mine and they, without fail always exceed my expectations! There isn’t anything they can’t do! If you need anything done on any instrument, don’t waste your time with someone else! Take it to the guys at music care and get it done right the first time!

Just had 2 guitars repaired. An old Kramer and a newer Schecter. The both play better than when they were new. Awesome job. I'll definitely be back with more guitars.

I refuse taking my clarinet to anyone else but music care, even when I lived out of state. They are amazing!

I take my guitars and amplifiers exclusively to Musicare. I also had an antique flute and antique violin restored to beautiful conditions. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, talented and friendly. I highly recommend them!

I've been going to MusiCare for a multitude of music needs for over twenty years these guys know their craft well they are very accommodating to you're special music needs I can't recommend them highly enough!

Jim is a great listener and understands exactly what the customer wants. He has worked on many of my guitars over the years and understands my need for high gain for extreme metal music. He has made sure that everything is wired and dialed to 11 to make my instruments into sonic flamethrowers! Thank you, Jim and MusiCare!!!

I can't say enough about this place! The owners are so friendly it makes me wish they were family. My daughter had her trombone cleaned and adjusted and 4 days later we brought it back because it got damaged at school. He remembered us and her instrument so he could tell precisely what was wrong with it. Very personable and knowledgeable. Go to MusiCare for all your musical needs.

Dave renovated my 51 year-old Leblanc "Duke" series tenor sax and then Dave repaired an issue with the case that had caused the problems with my sax. I had taken it to two other shops who worked on it for a combined three weeks and got nowhere. Could not be happier with the work and the way they treated me. Only place to go in Eastern Idaho

I am a raving fan of MusiCare. I left my "new to me" used Bundy II tenor saxophone with them in hopes that they could fix some serious dents. Now it looks fantastic! And it plays better now...Thanks so much!

What a fantastic store! I bought a used clarinet for my daughter, and with the instrument came a couple hours of time from helping give instructions on proper assembly, and help picking out the right mouth piece.

This is my go to team whenever my guitars, my wife's violin, or ANY of my family's instruments, need servicing. They REALLY care about the work that they do, and their expertise shows in every inch of their work. Thank you for always taking care of me! Because of you I can relax and focus on practicing, but let me know if you figure out how to do that for me too!

The owner is very knowledgeable and experienced. He will definitely take care of your instruments, and you can learn so much. The work is very reasonably priced as well!!

Fantastic! Made my Yamaha FG700 sound like a million bucks! New strings, tuned action and a good cleaning for a very fair price... 👍

These guys really know what they are doing when it comes to instrument repair.

I just love Muiscare. They do exceptional repair work and have great instruments and supplies for sale. I purchased an instrument from them a few years ago and it has been my pride and joy ever since. Probably the most impressive thing about Muiscare for me is that they seem to care just as much about me as they do about instruments, and that's something I really appreciate.

I had MusiCare do some repair work on my Martin aquatic guitar. I have nothing but praise for the level of professionalism and tremendous quality in which the repairs were accomplished!! As well as in a very timely matter. I highly recommend them for any instrument repairs!! 👍

They were so great, so knowledgeable, and so nice! They helped me find exactly what I was looking for. Would definitely go there again!

Fantastic shop and great resource for musical instruments. They won't gouge you on pricing and they are the best in the area.

Great guys and expert musical instrument repair.

The following is my recommendation: Dave is not an instrument repair person – he is a MIRACLE worker ! ! He is not allowed to retire EVER ! I have to drive 4 hours to get to his shop, but no one local will touch my horns. His decades of experience in building and re-building instruments shows in his quality work. I have been able to be in the right places at the right times to acquire older, well used professional grade instruments at bargain prices (some even being free to me). With Dave’s advice and work restoring these instruments, I have had years of pleasure playing instruments others thought were too far gone to save. Not only is his work top notch, but his prices are extremely reasonable. If you are searching for someone to work on your music instrument, you could search the world and not find anyone more accomplished or with better rates than Dave Sevy at MusiCare.
