"Steve is a truly genuine guy and is very passionate about music. My beginner band student damaged her Yamaha Saxophone on Monday. I took the Sax to Steve on Tuesday and he worked me in and got all the dents removed and went through the Sax thoroughly replacing parts as needed making it play like it never has before. He got it back to me on Thursday afternoon so my daughter could play in an event Friday. Thanks again Steve.. I would recommend Steve to anyone needing instrument repair. I live about 60 miles away and have closer options, but Steve will always have my business."

"My daughter's oboe had something go wrong on a Tuesday before an Honor Band outing. Oboe's are incredibly finicky, and there are precious few people willing to work on them. We took it to Steve just before 6 p.m. on Tuesday night. He tinkered with it, confirmed there was a problem, and said he'd work on it the next day. By 6p.m. on Wednesday he had fixed the big issue, found and fixed a few smaller issues, tested it, and gotten us back the oboe. My daughter's eyes lit up when she got a little practice in, saying the whole oboe was playing much better. The man may not be magic, but he's magical with instruments. We have a couple clarinets and a trumpet in the house, he will be our go to for any and all instrument issues and tune-ups going forward. Even better, he's a local, small business/craftsmen, and I'd rather support him than a big box store. Finally, he charged us less to fix my daughter's oboe than a big box music store charged to unstick a trumpet tuning slide. Collins Hornworks is in the Oak Mountain/Indian Springs Village area, which is convenient for us, but if it was my choice, I'd absolutely travel to have work done by Steve on any instrument I value and he's willing to look at."

"Steve did an amazing job with the saxophone we bought our daughter. She is excited and cannot wait to play it."

"My son needed his clarinet fixed last minute before a marching band festival and Steve came to our rescue. Within 20 minutes he had the problem diagnosed and fixed and we were out the door. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his work and that is very evident by the way he takes the time to explain what repairs he is doing and why he is doing it. We truly appreciate Steve and highly recommend him for all your repair needs."

"Steve is a very knowledgeable and down to earth man. I purchased a refurbished Yamaha alto sax for my son for a reasonable price and Steve also taught my son some new playing techniques. I definetly suggest Collins hornworks!"
