Hurdy Gurdy.... some how... and I'm not entirely certain how mind you, an instrument that sounds like someone has shoved a nest of angry hornets into a goose with a kazoo bill and is randomly slapping the poor creature with an accordion.... Sounds amazing.

Music Mayhem
Whangarei,
Real tradesmen to fix almost anything, from guitars to amps to mixers and everything in between.
Sell top quality intruments without the price, its about sound and playability not brands.
Plus lots of good solid advice from guys who've been in the game since birth and have a good reputation and repore with many top musicians throughout New Zealand

Anyone know if there is anyone in Wellington who can fix and clean up pedals? ... will Weta Guitars do this? (i know they do amps). Got an old pedal I use heaps, but its seen better days and needs a one over. Cheers!
