Saline Music Repair brings over 40 years of professional instrument repair expertise to the Milan area under the skilled hands of Jim Manley. Having served top schools, universities, and professional musicians throughout Michigan, this small shop has built its reputation on personal service and quick turnarounds‚often completing repairs within a day.

While the shop handles comprehensive band and orchestral instrument repairs across woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings, guitarists will find capable hands for their fretted instruments here. Services span guitar setup work, string replacement, bridge repairs, and structural work including neck repairs and open seam restoration. The shop also services banjos, mandolins, and basses, making it a versatile resource for stringed instrument players.

The one-man operation allows for personalized attention that larger shops can’t match. Jim’s decades of experience working with school band programs and orchestra students means he understands the urgency musicians face when their instruments need attention. His luthier skills extend to vintage guitar work alongside the shop’s core focus on student and professional orchestra instruments, offering affordable pricing without sacrificing quality craftsmanship.
