Advanced Repairs – Continuing Our Work With Big Bear Sounds
Much of the repair philosophy and language on this page was shaped by Bear’s skills and experience during his time as part of the Palmer Music Co. team. His standards helped define how repair has long been approached at PMC.
While PMC is scaling back the scope of in-house repair, our relationship with Bear continues. Advanced and specialized repair work is now handled through Big Bear Sounds, Bear’s repair business.

"100% of my business"
Took in my new 7 string I bought online for a set-up. This guitar has an evertune bridge which is awesome but a little complicated. These guys set it up perfectly!! I am telling you if you have never been to Palmer Music Company you are missing out. They have 100% of my business. They rock, and you should stop in and see them.

"dad's old gibson"
Dad’s old Gibson acoustic (late 60’s model) had a crack in it. They meticulously braced and glued the crack, replaced the saddle and nut, and it sounds and plays fantastic. I’d trust them with anything.
