What sets us apart?
We are located in South Eastern Idaho and are happy to offer our services to students, professionals, and everyone else in between. At MusiCare we have over 100 years of combined experience repairing, maintaining, and modifying all types of musical instruments and musical electronics. During those years of experience, we have had the pleasure to work with many music educators and music students. Our mission is to provide music-related services and products of the highest possible quality and do so in a manner that is honest, ethical, profitable, and mutually beneficial to our customers. Please take a few minutes to view some examples of our work in our Gallery by clicking here. We work to make sure that you and your students can be successful in all of your creative efforts. We love being a part of enriching students and our communities through music.
At MusiCare music educators receive the benefit of the many years of experience and expertise of master craftsmen, as well as apprentices learning to carry on the trade so we can continue being there for you for many years to come! We have proven repair and cleaning techniques and are continually innovating to provide the best service to our customers. No two repairs are exactly the same and as such, we have valuable experience that helps us to provide you with the best service available. All of our repair services are done in-house, we do not outsource any of our work.
For “Summer Repair” we offer educators the opportunity to have their instrument inventory evaluated for repair needs. We also offer free pickup and delivery of that repair, when scheduled at the beginning of the summer.
We Support you!
One of our primary focuses is to serve and benefit the needs of music educators and their programs. Through our retail store and our musical instrument service center, we are able to take care of minor instrument repair problems as well as catastrophic repair needs. We are able to provide a full-service solution to music educators. MusiCare is proud to offer support to our music educators by keeping their district rental instruments in good working order. We are also able to keep track of the instruments we service by documenting their serial numbers and the work completed in our repair logs.
Take Care! Take Pride!™
We can also do this by providing you and your students with support through our responsibility-based maintenance program.
In 1989 we produced and released “Take Care! Take Pride!™ A Video Guide to Musical Instrument Care”. This is not an instrument repair video, but rather it is designed to educate students on how they can prevent problems with their instruments by teaching them proper handling techniques as well as effective cleaning and maintenance procedures. This means less hassle for the students, less hassle for you as the music educator, and more time for rehearsal! We have recently added an online quiz to test the student’s retention and the option to print out a completion certificate!

Our Responsibility Based Maintenance Program
We offer all of our customers a responsibility-based maintenance program. What does this mean? We will guarantee our repairs for one full school year so long as the student has proven they know how to properly care for and handle their musical instrument and do so. Any repairs needed due to negligence, not following a maintenance schedule, abuse, misuse, or issues caused by unqualified persons attempting a repair will not be covered in the guarantee. Those repairs will need to be inspected by our repair technician and any needed repairs will be the responsibility of the player.
Instrument Purchase Payment Options
(with option to return)
We do not offer Rental instruments here at MusiCare, why? Because we believe that Rent is the option to quit. The best thing for a student is to be given the information they need to make a commitment. When a student has made that commitment and chosen an instrument and then makes a purchase and has ownership of their musical instrument they will be more likely to stick with it and continue on playing. They are also more likely to take care and have pride in their instrument. We have a great selection of used, refurbished instruments for beginners up to advancing intermediate and professional level instruments, you can see a list by clicking here.
We offer payment plans 10 months starting on the date of purchase. At the time of purchase there will be a 20% down payment and the balance will be paid over the next 10 months in 10 equal payments with NO INTEREST CHARGE! (As long as payments are on time.)
This agreement can be canceled at any time by returning the item(s) in the same condition that it was when purchased. At that point, all payments made toward the balance, including the down payment, will be considered rent, and the purchase agreement will be canceled and no further payments will be required; as long as the account is current at the time of return.
