Experience you can hear.

Wind & Ivory Instrument Repair is an independent brass and woodwind repair shop serving the Fishers area and surrounding communities. Every instrument that comes through the door is evaluated honestly — we tell you what we found, why it matters, and what it will cost before any work begins.

We specialize in brass repair with particular expertise in low brass instruments — tuba, euphonium, and trombone — while also offering select woodwind repairs in clarinet, bassoon, and oboe. Every repair is approached with both a performer's ear and a technician's hands.
