From the reviews
I WILL BE TAKING MY BIG BABY FOR REPAIR... I guarantee they will do a great job! I may even stay for the drum circle see ya there Sundays!
I needed to have my djembe repaired, as the drum head skin ripped. Thank goodness I was able to find this place doing a simple Google search. I was able to get an authentic goat skin head on the drum for a reasonable rate in only a six day turnaround. Eduardo and London were really nice and knowledgeable.
Thanks Dan for bringing my dad’s old Congo back to life with new. This drum traveled from Cuba to California to most recently Michigan. It’s final destination home, Michigan will play at some amazing venues. Remembering that you had a hand in it.
I had a most unusual drum - it looked like a 4' section of a coconut tree trunk with a head on top. The head was split so the drum was useless. After finding Motherland, I sent the 'tree trunk' to them and they did an absolutely beautiful job refinishing it and crafting a new head for it.
Lessons at Motherland Music
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at Motherland Music. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments on hand for exactly this reason.
