Cadenza Music has been serving the St Paul community since 1974, when Eugene Monnig and Dorothy Sauser-Monnig transformed the former Harry Blon’s Music Center into a comprehensive music resource. Their professional repair shop handles everything from guitar setups and fretwork on acoustic and electric guitars to complete instrument restoration across multiple families of instruments.

The repair technicians at Cadenza bring decades of combined experience to their craft, treating student guitars with the same meticulous care as professional instruments. Their fretted strings repair services cover guitars, basses, and ukuleles, addressing common issues like intonation problems, fret leveling, and structural repairs. The shop’s guitar tech team understands that proper setup and maintenance are crucial for playability and tone.

Beyond guitar repair, Cadenza excels in orchestra and school band instrument support, offering comprehensive services for woodwinds, brass, and orchestral strings. This makes them a one-stop destination for families and educators needing reliable instrument maintenance. Under current owner Dan Lehn’s leadership since 2019, the shop continues its tradition of quality luthier work and exceptional customer service that has defined Cadenza for nearly five decades.
