Did you know: Bridge replacement is a common violin/viola repair, but bridges aren't interchangeable. To replace it, the luthier will carve a "blank" bridge to fit the specific measurements of each instrument. 🎻 #themusicshoppe #stringrepair #viola #centralillinois

Please enjoy a #photodump of repairs that we've seen lately. Which looks like the hardest to fix? 👀 The repair department sees a lot of gnarly damage, but the good news is they can fix just about anything! ⚒️

❓: Are you taking proper care of your instrument over summer? The best way to prevent wood damage is by letting the instrument warm up or cool down to room temperature in it's case before playing. 🌞 Found a crack already? Call or text (309) 452-7436 to get started!

Adolphe Sax patented 8 saxophones in 1846...would you rather play the biggest one you can find, or smallest? 🎶 #themusicshoppe #saxophone #barisax #sopranosax Yamaha Music USA

Drop a heart ❤️ if you're the one who always hangs around the band room to play the percussion instruments after class. 🎶 This 3.5 octave Adams Academy xylophone is a popular play-thing around the Normal store. What would you play on it?

What's the difference between a trumpet and cornet? 🎺 TL;DR: The trumpet has a cylindrical bore, the cornet has a conical one. The cornet's tubing gradually gets larger as it reaches the bell, the trumpet's does not.

Through our service to local schools, we help students and parents make the exciting leap into instrumental music! 🎼

It may be one of the most popular beginning instruments, but many parents don't know what a bell kit is! 😱 Similar to a xylophone (but NOT a xylophone, which is made of wood), this kit includes a set of bells, which are used to teach new percussionists about pitched percussion.

If this bass could speak, what would it say? 🤔🎻 #themusicshoppe #centralillinois #stringplayer #doublebass
