    We employ ten highly skilled full-time workers and enjoy, we’re happy to report, a sterling reputation for top-quality restoration and ethical transactions. We are not amateurs, nor are we a “back bedroom” operation. We would be pleased to furnish you with references attesting to the above.
    ************************************************************************
    Wichita Band Instrument Company is a small musical instrument emporium located in the center of the USA. We’ve been in business since 1953 and have had the same owner since 1963. Originally we were a repair shop that specialized in woodwind and sax restoration. Today we have 10 employees including five of the finest repair technicians in the country. Virtually ALL the items we sell have been fully reconditioned in our own shop, although we do sell a few unrestored historical instruments each year.
    Ebay authorized payment methods:
    PayPal or credit/debit card processed through our internet merchant account.
    Buyers outside of the USA are responsible for all import duties and customs clearance charges in their respective countries. We may refuse PayPal and/or credit card payments from some countries.
    We’re happy to respond to any and all questions about flutes and other musical instruments, but please don’t write and ask “What’s granny’s mellophone worth?”  We kindly recommend an Ebay search with which you’ll learn more than we’d ever be able to tell you.
    Wichita Band Instrument Co.
    In January of 2021, our small workshop in Wichita celebrated sixty-eight years in business.  We are not in the 1952 Wichita telephone directory, but we ARE in the 1953.
    Over the decades, we’ve repaired and restored hundreds of woodwind instruments, specializing in woodwinds from the early twentieth century and before.
    We employ ten highly skilled full-time workers and enjoy, we’re happy to report, a sterling reputation for top-quality restoration and ethical transactions.
    We are not amateurs, nor are we a “back bedroom” operation.
