Austin Custom Brass brings a unique perspective to instrument repair in Kansas City, with expertise that extends beyond their brass specialty into vintage guitar work. The shop was founded by an owner who started in the music industry in 1998 at Osmun Brass, where an obsession with equipment modification and tinkering took root. That hands-on background translates into meticulous repair services across multiple instrument categories.

While the business has built its reputation primarily around brass instruments, their guitar tech services handle vintage guitar restoration and repair work with the same attention to detail applied to their horn work. The shop’s experience with precision instrument repair and setup carries over naturally to fretwork, guitar setup, and other luthier services. Austin Custom Brass also supports the local music education community by providing orchestra and school band instrument maintenance, making them a valuable resource for Kansas City musicians across genres. Their facility maintains both new and pre-owned instrument inventory alongside their repair services, reflecting a comprehensive understanding of what working musicians need from their instrument shop.
