David's Instrument Repair Gets in the News Periodically - Check Here for Details!

This story hangs on the wall next to the counter at DIR.

One of David's gifts is being a problem-solver. He likes to make things work again, and he enjoys a challenge. On the wall of his shop, you'll see samples of horns that he has fixed. Actually, you'll see some of the pieces from damaged horns that he has had to replace, or the horns that just couldn't be repaired. Running over a horn with a car, or stepping on one while carrying a tuba, is not a great prescription for a horn's longevity.

Originally from Chicago, David came to Dallas and began working at a major national music retailer that went out of business in 2003. When the retailer closed, David started repairing instruments at his current location just off the square in Old Town Carrollton, Texas. He started his business with the hope that some of his contacts from the old shop would visit the new shop. Almost immediately, he began to acquire musicians as clients. Over time, he has also added school districts, band boosters, individual parents and saavy students to his growing list of customers.
