  • “Palmer's music is an absolutely world-class music store with some of the best saxophone overhaul work I have ever seen or played! Clearly this is one of the best-kept secrets in the woodwind world. They are responsive, professional, and extremely thorough in every detail.”

    – Jaice S.

  • "Matt Palmer performed emergency surgery on my contra bass flute that I had dropped on a marble floor (!). The section I dropped was destroyed, the instrument couldn't even be assembled again. With a performance just two days away, Matt dropped everything he was working on to come to my aid. Despite having never worked on a contra bass flute before (and especially one made in the Netherlands), he repaired damaged tenons, fabricated low key shafts and posts and refit the pads to make it playable again. Unbelievable! Simply amazing work...don't hesitate to see Palmer's Music for your repair needs!"
