Hear what our clients are saying about Salazar Fine Tuning ...
"Salazar Fine Tuning built a one-of-a-kind Bass Marimba for The Mallet Band, my group consisting of only mallet players and percussion. The Mallet Band had been using synthesized bass marimba parts for years, and we desperately wanted to keep our entire sound acoustic. I spoke to John about designing an instrument that could drive the band, be portable, look the part, yet be unusual. We were especially interested in having the low notes of the instrument cut through the mix. John's resulting design proved to be perfect for our needs and the symmetry made for a beautiful balanced look." Michael Hatfield
"My newly acquired Deagan #102 frame had missing parts, dented and rusted resonators, crumbling felts, black and gold chipped spray paint, and split rails and end pieces. Nevertheless, Salazar Fine Tuning's precise and detailed work seemed to turn back the clock to give me the closest thing to a new Deagan instrument I had ever seen". Wade Culbreath
"When it comes to the tuning of my marimba bars, I am most discriminating. They have to be done right or else. John Salazar of Salazar Fine Tuning is one of the best tuners in the industry today. Whether it's retuning your old set, or making new bars, I respect his work highly." Dr. David P. Eyler
"Salazar is a fine craftsman who has great ears and fast turnaround times; exactly what we require for the discriminating clients we regularly serve." Dan Savell, Co-Owner
“I am consistently impressed by the quality craftsmanship of Salazar Fine Tuning.” James Lee (Trey) Wyatt III
"I am happy to recommend John Salazar of Salazar Fine Tuning as one of the finest tuners and restorers of mallet instruments in the world today. The work he did on my vintage Musser vibraphone was nothing short of remarkable. Additionally, his prices are very reasonable and his work completed in a very timely manner. John is a true artist/craftsman in every sense of the word, and certainly puts his heart and soul into every instrument as if it were his own." Allen Brown
“The work John Salazar did for our 1934 Deagan Marimba-Xylophone Model 4724 was stunning. It was beautifully restored and sounds terrific. I can’t say enough about his craftsmanship.” Dr. Eric Hollenbeck
"Just unpacked the bars, unbelievable refinishing job John. They look and sound great! You'd never know the marimba was 100 years old. Thanks for the high-level craftsmanship!" Mike Snyder
"Dear John, I love the marimba bar that you made for my Vancore Bass Marimba! It is the high sound quality I was looking for. I highly recommend your services. Great stuff!! Thanks."
