“Needham Music’s rental instruments are always of the finest quality. Their repairs have been excellent and timely and their customer service is of the highest caliber. Needham Music has been an excellent resource for advice on recruitment and retention, as well as for bringing in musicians for master classes. I could not be more fully satisfied with the quality of instruments, the quality of repairs, the customer service and the shared mission of Needham Music. I promise you that you will not be disappointed.”

Richard Saunders - Director of Music, Somerville Public Schools

“We work with the team at Needham Music for instrument purchases for the district and are always pleased with the competitive pricing and quality of the instruments we receive, the reliable and personable service from the team and their commitment to follow up throughout the school year. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Needham Music for the BPS schools.”

Myran Parker-Brass - Executive Director for the Arts, Boston Public Schools

“I chose to make the switch to Needham Music from another vendor we had used for many years because the quality of the instruments was consistently poor – I have never had this issue with the instruments from Needham and the staff is always extremely helpful and attentive. They are always delivered on time, and the communication is smooth. The rental rates are also very competitive especially for the high quality of instruments and service. They are a joy to work and make the process of renting dozens of instruments painless!”

Melissa Riesgo - Administrative Coordinator, Boston University College of Fine Arts

“Needham music delivers all products/repairs/supplies directly to our door on a weekly basis. They establish a good time to stop by and drop off/pick up anything necessary. They will go out of their way to support you and your program by attending your concerts, recruitment fairs, or even putting you in touch with other colleagues around the area. What I find to be most helpful is when I do not know a particular answer, whether it’s regarding which percussion heads, types of reeds, brass mouthpieces, etc., Needham music will research my inquiry and follow up with a respectable answer. I would place his company among the most reliable and most dedicated music companies with whom I have worked.”

Jacob Eisenman - Band Director, Boston Latin Academy

“After using several music stores for repair, I now use Needham Music exclusively for all of my band repairs for school-owned instruments and also refer them to students who own their instrument that is in need of repair. Unlike the other stores that I have used, I have always been satisfied with the quality of the repair and the price. They are consistent with the quality of repair and I feel confident when an instrument is returned that it works. Many times Needham Music was able to fix the instrument on the spot for no charge. As a rule, they check the entire instrument before returning to make sure nothing else is wrong with it. Needham Music is always there when you need them to either deliver or pick up instruments. The invoices were very easy to read and clearly itemized as to what work was done and I have always felt that the costs were very reasonable.”
