Music Case Repair Christchurch

Welcome to The Fixit Factory, where Phil is passionate about repairing and restoring musical instruments and their cases. In this page, we will take a closer look at how Phil approaches fixing and repairing musical instrument cases, as well as explore the different types of instrument cases.

Phil has extensive experience in repairing a wide range of musical instrument cases, from guitar cases to trumpet cases and everything in between. When a customer brings in a damaged case, Phil will first assess the extent of the damage and determine the best course of action. Some of the most common types of damage include broken latches, damaged hinges, and tears in the exterior material.

To repair broken latches, Phil will first remove the old latch and replace it with a new one. He will ensure that the new latch is securely attached to the case and functions properly. If the hinge is damaged, Phil will either replace the entire hinge or repair it by reinforcing the area around the hinge with additional materials.

If the exterior material of the case is torn, Phil will carefully sew the tear back together and reinforce the area around it with additional material to prevent further damage.

In addition to repairing damage, Phil can also restore older cases to their former glory. This may involve replacing worn or damaged materials, such as foam padding or exterior fabric, and ensuring that the case is clean and free of any dirt or debris.

Now let's take a look at the different types of instrument cases:

1. Hard-shell cases: These cases are typically made of durable plastic or metal and provide excellent protection for instruments. They often have foam padding inside to cushion the instrument during transport.
2. Soft-shell cases: These cases are made of lightweight materials, such as fabric or leather, and often have foam padding inside to protect the instrument. While they are not as durable as hard-shell cases, they are more portable and easier to carry.
3. Gig bags: These are soft, lightweight cases that are designed for easy transport. They are often used for smaller instruments, such as guitars or violins, and provide minimal protection.
4. Flight cases: These are heavy-duty cases that are designed to withstand the rigors of air travel. They are often used for large instruments, such as pianos or double basses, and provide excellent protection during transport.
5. Custom cases: In some cases, musicians may require custom cases to meet their specific needs. These cases are designed to fit the exact dimensions of the instrument and may include additional features, such as extra padding or compartments for accessories.
