Even if you are an out-of-state customer, don't be concerned about repair. If there is problem with your instrument, we will guide you through a diagnosis by phone, then either instruct you through the repair (if easy), have you send the instrument to one of our repair shops, or instruct you to have it repaired locally. We have rental instruments located in 30 states, and our experience shows that we can handle any repair problem by working with our customers individually to diagnose and resolve. Loaner instruments are often shipped out during repair periods, depending on our customer's needs. We will be fair and supportive when there is a damaged instrument.
