Midtown Music Loft

Midtown Music Loft is my go-to repair shop in NYC! Noah is one of the top repairmen, and he always gets my horn feeling brand new. Noah listens carefully when I’m explaining what’s going on with my horn and then proceeds to diagnose the issue right away. I know when I bring my saxophone to Midtown Music Loft it’s going to be treated with the utmost care and love!

Noah Liebowitz came highly recommended to me by my friends and colleagues, and after just one visit I quickly knew why. Noah is meticulous when it comes to attention to detail, and he goes above and beyond for every repair or adjustment l’ve come in for. He is thoughtful about his diagnoses, timely with repairs, and offers fair pricing. My instruments always come back sounding and feeling better than ever -and not to mention, Noah is a great person, hang, and will never leave you hanging!

Noah has that golden oil touch, the way he goads my pads into place astounds me. Not only is his attention to detail meticulous, his logical approach to mechanical systems saves time and money. He can quickly diagnose trouble spots among any instrument and come up with a solution on the spot. I have come to trust and rely upon Noah to sustain my vintage horns. A busy touring schedule can put some serious wear and tear on any instrument -Noah keeps my boat afloat. And he ain’t bad to look at 😉

Noah has been working on my saxophones for several years now and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He’s incredibly competent, fair, and wonderful to work with. I’ve recommended him to several colleagues and students and everyone’s had a wonderful experience with him. He’s a gem in the city and I’m so grateful for all he’s done!

Noah’s shop is upstanding to say the least! Expertise and a warm undertone of shop vibes make Midtown Music Loft a fine spot to stop for horn work as well as gear and gizmo trialing. Good company and a comfy couch make for ease of talk and an outstanding break from the NYC minutia.

Noah and the team at Midtown Music Loft deliver the highest quality repairs and customer service with quick turnaround at an affordable price. I always look forward to spending time in the relaxed and comfortable environment of the shop. Midtown Music Loft is absolutely my #1 horn repair shop in NYC.

Noah’s experience, skills, and overall demeanor make a visit to his shop an enjoyable and fruitful experience. He has worked on most of my woodwind instruments and I couldn’t be happier with his work. Check him out!

No BS instrument repair. Beautiful space, knowledgeable staff.

I brought my tenor here because it wasn’t sealing well and I walked out with a horn that feels completely different! Noah does phenomenal pad work as well as key work such as elimination of mechanical noise. Prices are fair and he works efficiently. There aren’t many techs in town who will put this level of attention into their average customer’s horn. Noah is meticulous.

Noah does fantastic and timely repair work on all my woodwinds, and it doesn’t break the bank. Plus he has a really well curated stock of instruments and accessories, and he’s a great hang to boot! He’s an essential part of the NYC repair community. Thank you Noah!

Noah is a great repairman because he loves what he does. His OCD is as strong as any artist’s and he will care about your horn as much or more than you do.

Noah is one of those rare repair wizards who deeply understands the mechanical workings of the saxophone in addition to being a great musician himself -that way he’s able to do truly nuanced repair work to satisfy each individual player. I entrust him with my horn and he is a pleasure to hang with. Always great music playing in the shop too!

Noah is not only an incredible repairman with an impeccable attention to detail, which would be more than enough, but he’s also able to accommodate any repair job, even unconventional requests, and he’s a great hang too. I trust him with all my horns.

I love coming into the shop whether it’s on a whim or a scheduled repair. Great equipment, repair work, craftsmanship, and hang everytime.

Noah at Midtown Music Loft is THE dude! He always does the best repair work on my horns, and he’s a great hang! It’s always a total pleasure to give him a call and drop by the shop. I totally trust him with all of my horns and I’m looking forward to the next time I get back!

I’ve handed off many of my woodwinds to Noah over the years, and I’m constantly surprised that they always seem to play better than ever before when I get them back. Whether it’s by next week or in thirty minutes, he’s always been able to get my horns back to me playing great in time for whatever I have coming up. Every musician needs someone like that in their corner!

Noah is amazing! I trust him implicitly, he is the most skilled and knowledgeable woodwind repair tech I’ve ever worked with. Not only is he my go-to guy for big repairs, but he is also a life-saver of quick fixes. And regardless of what I’ve brought him to work on, he is transparent about all of his suggested repair options and price points. Plus, he’s a delight. I can’t recommend him enough!

Noah is an absolute gem of a repair tech. He is prompt and reliable in his communications, and every time I bring an instrument to him I get it back playing even better than I remembered it could. He has a lovely habit of telling you exactly what he is doing and why, and also let’s you know what repairs he deems necessary versus what parts are kind of extra, and then lets you make the choice.

Noah is one of the great technicians of today. He is one of the most honest guys on the scene and is a great hang.

…my go-to repair shop. Each and every single time I’ve gotten my horns back from Noah I’ve been very satisfied. Noah’s work ethic has made him my favorite. I love how direct he is with what my horn needs. He walks me through his diagnosis, gives an honest assessment of everything he can do to bring the horn’s playability to an optimal level. He cares about the satisfaction of his clients.

Noah Liebowitz is a true musician’s repair artist. He’s at the top of the list for many of us professional musicians on the New York City scene. Noah is a wonderful problem solver who puts us all at ease when in a bind with our instruments and he is totally committed to the high level of craft that he has achieved. Midtown Music Loft is such an asset to the music community in New York, I can’t say enough about it!

Noah is one of the finest repair techs in NYC. Treats his customers right. Highly recommend!!!

…quickly put at ease working with Noah. Everything, from finding subtle leaks to more involved stuff like removing a dent, he is very thoughtful, meticulous, and gentle with all of my instruments. His attention to detail is calibrated at such a very high-level he often uncovers little issues I wasn’t even aware of. And details such as: I like that he pays extra attention to always grabbing the proper size screw-driver, or tool. Rather than deface a screw head, in a rush, he’ll take the extra time to walk across the room, open a drawer and grab the proper tool. No mushroom-capped screw heads, or “new” scratches, blemishes or marks that weren’t there before when Noah Liebowitz hands your horn back. He leaves the scene in better condition than before he entered. Improvements only, you dig? My expectations have always been exceeded working with Noah. And in today’s marketplace? That means more today than it did 20 years ago.

The best saxophone technician in the world! And the only other flute tech I trust in NYC.

I’ve always felt comfortable sending clients to Noah because I know he’s always honest and very capable. If you’re a woodwind player in NYC, Midtown Music Loft is definitely the place to go!

Noah at Midtown Music Loft is my secret weapon in NYC. His work is excellent with a great attention to detail. With my busy freelance schedule I have counted on Noah many times to get all my woodwinds to play their best. All of my experiences have been fun and professional. I give Noah my highest recommendation.

Of the new cats on the sax repair scene, I feel Noah has the best knowledge and experience to do fine work, and the smarts to solve unusual problems if they come up. He stays cool, calm and collected, and gets the best results without any added frills!

Noah is a young master. He understands what pros need. Also, he is a pleasure to hang with while waiting for your horns.
