Better Sounds Australia

Better Sounds Australia is now moving forward to provide an even better (and much needed) service for acoustic instrument players, through our new Performance Studio, Better Sounds Productions.

In the past, our focus has been on the performance of the instruments we repair and sell.  We are now opening the stage for acoustic music audio and video recordings.  Our studio is large enough to accommodate a large size band.

Our passion for working to an exceptionally high standard is recognised in our reputation, exceeding three decades.  Better Sounds comes highly endorsed by music teachers, school bands, brass bands, concert bands, church bands and orchestras across the country.

We wish to say Thank You to the many players who have used our services over these past 30 years, and look forward to being of further assistance to your music life in the future.

Restorations

In the past we have restored many instruments, but today this process has become less and less cost effective for cheaper quality instruments.

Shown here is a 120 year old French made Brevette cornet.  A full restoration was requested by the owner due to personal sentimental and antique value.  This restoration required many processes and engineering skills to be applied.  This is a genuine before and after shot!

 

 

Where are we?

Better Sounds Australia operates from the South-East region of Queensland, with a factory workshop facility 35 minutes South of the Brisbane CBD.  We welcome personal visits to the facility, and appreciate appointment phone calls for emergency or after-hours situations.  Our trusted network of courier services allows us to pick up and deliver repairs and sales from almost anywhere.

Customer Feedback

I just can't seem to help myself but actually this one is for my wife. This Getzen Eterna Cornet is more than 30 years old. It had lots of corrosion and the lead pipe was rotten. Stunning job.
