client reviews
““Very personal and helpful, took time to explain and answer our questions. Very willing to work with our schedule and needs. Definitely go back for maintenance and other instruments.”
— Peter E.
““Marquee has been taking amazing care of my instruments for several years. Michael understands pro horns and gives them the attention to detail rarely found in the Midwest. Highly recommend!”
— Galen F.
““Michael does excellent work. I bought my first professional level saxophone entering college and fought for weeks trying to adjust to the horn and produce a good sound with it. My sax professor recommended I take the instrument to his favorite repairman, Michael. He only had the horn for a few days but I felt like I was playing on a brand new saxophone when I got it back. Michael has been my go-to technician for three years now and has always done amazing work. He is quick, honest, and highly skilled.”
— Nate B.
““I have had the great pleasure of living and performing in many parts of the country and one of the first things I ask after I move is, “Who can I trust with my horns?” Upon arriving in Wichita, that answer was resoundingly: Michael Riepe! I can say unequivocally that Michael is one of the best repairmen there is. He is as talented an artisan as I have met. You can trust Michael Riepe with your instruments as I have with mine.”
