Looking forward to jamming soon!" - Adam F. (Google Review) --- "What a delightful experience it was to deal with Mady. Extremely polite and demonstrated and extensive knowledge in his field. Thank you for the great service!" - Steamatic Australia (Google Review) --- "I would highly recommend Mady, should you need to ‘re-skin’ a drum. He does more than just re-skin. In the process, he checks for any defects in the drum and repairs them (e.g. fills up cracks) and replaces parts, if required, (e.g. strings, rings etc.). Very impressed by the pride and care he took to restore the drums. Do yourself a favor, check him out!" - Henry C. (Google Review) --- "I have been fortunate enough to have had Mady repair and re skin my vintage djembe. He has done a fantastic job; it looks great and sounds great too – much better than I thought it would be. His work is so professional. Communication via Sophie has been exceptional. Thank you both." - Graeme U. (Google Review)
