Instrument Maintenance and Warranty

Maintenance

Run by musicians, for musicians, Sandarac is fully aware of the needs of the player and realises how daunting it can be to entrust a beloved instrument to someone else's care. Rest assured our extremely high standards and excellent technical know-how ensures that all instruments are quickly returned in first class playing condition - and in many cases better than when it originally left the factory.

Sandarac's ethos is that the customer plays an important role in the repair process. Our technical experts are available to work with you, offering advice on action height, string-type, etc., to arrive at the optimal instrument specification for your playing style.

After a job is completed the instrument is thoroughly played-in to ensure that everything has settled down. When collecting an instrument, customers are encouraged to play it on the premises and any small changes that may be necessary due to personal preferences can be made at the time.

All repair and maintenance work is followed-up with a courtesy call to ensure that everything is to the customer's satisfaction and any concerns dealt with. All repairs are fully guaranteed for six months (subject to fair wear and tear).
