Big Note Music and Southeast Music Institute has built a reputation as one of Georgia’s most comprehensive instrument repair facilities, originally known for their innovative mobile repair services before establishing their brick-and-mortar shop in Cartersville. The team specializes in professional instrument repair across all categories, from guitar setup and fretwork to comprehensive orchestra and school band instrument support.

What sets Big Note apart is their dual approach to service‚customers can visit the retail location for same-day repairs or take advantage of their mobile repair services that reach over 500 school music programs throughout Bartow, Cobb, Paulding, Cherokee, Floyd, Polk, and Gordon Counties. Their guitar tech team handles everything from basic setups to complex restorations, while also offering repair training for those interested in learning the craft professionally.

The shop’s commitment to quick turnaround times and transparent service has earned praise from local families and even touring professionals, including university bands who’ve relied on their emergency repair expertise. Beyond guitar repair and general luthier services, Big Note maintains an annual maintenance program designed to keep instruments in optimal playing condition while helping musicians save on long-term repair costs.
