Musical Instrument Repairs

It is important to bring your instrument to a qualified instrument repair shop when a part is damaged or broken. Only a trained instrument repair technician will know how to correctly diagnose problems with your instrument, and know the proper way to fix them.  This will keep your instrument in excellent playing condition and prevent additional problems.  At Scott Russ Music we have an instrument repair shop on site in our store. The repair shop is staffed by 7 experienced technicians, each with an average of over 45 years of experience. Make an appointment to bring in your instrument for a free instrument check. 516-377-7907

Music History February 11

On this date in 1964, the Beatles played their first U.S. concert at the Coliseum in Washington, DC. The opening acts were Jay & The Americans, The Righteous Brothers and Tommy Roe. The Beatles had arrived in Washington DC by train as a snowstorm prevented them from flying. They were greeted at Washington's Union Station by 2,000 fans who braved the eight inches of snow on the ground.
