Friendly and helpful staff in workshop, had my saxophone working well in a short space of time saving me a return journey from Dundee. Very competitive price too! Would definitely bring my sax back here if any repairs needed. Great service!

I have bought all my instruments, reeds, mouthpieces, etc from The Wind Section for many many years now. Always the most professional service, always happy to have a chat and a laugh too. I always take my mouthpiece along with me and they're happy to let me pick a tenor off the wall and have a blow. Couldn't be without these guys and girls. ????????

The staff are most helpful and give great advice. They don't rush you into making a purchase and it's great that customers have the chance to try out the instruments before buying. I would highly recommend The Wind Section and it's a really lovely day out to Edinburgh too. ????

I took my tenor sax to The Wind Section today for a repair, expecting to have to leave it and collect in a few days. Got it back 2 hours later in perfect order and only charged £30. First rate service, friendly and knowledgeable. ????????????????

Flute was repaired in a few seconds - no charge. Honest advice given that it doesn't need an overhaul yet - bring it back when the pads are more worn. Excellent customer support.

A fair but limited selection of woodwind and brass instruments (and sundry accoutrements) appearing to be aimed at meeting the needs of beginners and dedicated enthusiasts alike. Friendly and knowledgeable staff are happy to advise. Worth a visit.

Impressive number of instruments including those in for repair clearly shows how busy and in demand they are which must mean good work done

Went in with my partner who was looking for a flute. We had recently had very bad customer service in shops we wont name.
The staff here were very bubbly and had a laugh with us. Started talking to my partner offering different flutes finding out what level of flute she needed and we found the perfect one.
Those other businesses missed out but this place is deffo worth a stop by.

Excellent service. Ordered a sax late morning yesterday, arrived at 10am today. The staff in the shop were very enthusiastic and helpful when I was previously in their shop. Definitely recommend.

The Wind Section is amazing. The staff are musicians themselves and every time I have been in they have been nothing but helpful and informative. The last time I went in it was three days before Christmas and he mended my flute on the spot. The time before that they did an amazing job servicing my flute and gave me tips on how to keep it clean and healthy. Can't recommend this place enough, friendly, helpful and professional staff every single visit.

Fantastic customer service from Malcolm and his team when deciding on what particular Yamaha Xeno Trumpet to go for! I was given ample time to test and retest the models on display, time to discuss the different trumpets with Malcolm ( a brass player himself) and then more time for playing. A totally relaxed and friendly sales manner which wasn't at all pushy, a total pleasure all round! I am very happy with the instrument and couldn't recommend The Wind Section, Edinburgh enough.
Thank you.

Brilliant service every time. Small repairs are often done on the spot, saving me a return journey. But I was astounded by the help I recently received when the workshop identified a joint problem with my Buffet RC Prestige while it was still under warranty and negotiated with Buffet to sort it out - even though I hadn't bought the instrument in the shop! All the staff were incredibly helpful and kept me in touch with progress while the clarinet went back to Buffet.

Fantastic shop with very helpful and friendly staff. Workshop is great - I popped in there just before a concert as a bit of cork had fallen off my instrument - they fixed it there and then, free of charge.
