Repairs

We do repairs on all instruments: woodwinds, brass, and guitar. We do guitar setup and restrings. Our hourly rate is $40 with a $15 minimum. 

• Restring charges are:

$10 for a 6 string guitar

$20 for a 12 string guitar or a guitar with a Floyd Rose system.

We will tune your instrument for free.

Removal of stuck mouthpieces is free.

We do not currently have an amplifier repair person. However, we highly reccomend Audio Specialties in Arcata.  822-4626  ‎

Band & Orchestra Instrument Rentals

We rent band and orchestra instruments starting at $20.00 a month. We have everything from trumpets to bass clarinets to snare kits.  All we need is a completed rental agreement and the first two months rent to start. Self employed and SSI recipients will need to show proof of income. Loss of the instrument from damage or theft is covered under the rental agreement with a small deductible. Normal wear is also included and we will service your instrument while you are renting it. If you decide to purchase the instrument, or a similar instrument, we will apply 75% of the total rent paid towards that purchase.

PA Rentals

We rent a variety of speakers, monitors, mixers, microphones, snakes and power amps. Pricing depends on the amount of equipment needed and size of speakers. We have small easy to use systems ($40) to large systems for big events ($150-$200). An FMM employee can help you with sizing and prices. Most of the PA gear is in the Fortuna location since we have more storage space there but we are very willing to bring it to the Eureka location for you.

Payment Options:

We offer several different payment options. The following are available at both locations:

• Traditional layaway: You pick out an instrument or gear you want and put a down payment of at least 10% (non-refundable) down and sign a contract. We will hold it for you for up to 6 months. After 6 months the contract is void and we will put the item back on the floor for sale.
• Fortuna Music Mart Purchase Plan: We offer a purchase plan for purchases totaling $499.99 or less.  For all purchases over $500 please see "GE Money Plan" below.  A contract and an information sheet will need to be completed. A 15% non-refundable down payment is required. Self employed and SSI recipients will need to show proof of income. The return policy is 30 days. Minimum purchase of $150 is required.
• GE Money Plan: This plan is a great option for repeat customers. You receive a Fortuna Music Mart credit card with your name on it. GE Money offers several financing options. Right now these options are 6 months no interest, 12 month no interest, and 36 months with a 13.99% APR. An FMM employee can go over which plan will best fit you and your budget. All purchases over $500.00 will have to be approved by GE Money. They do require a credit check. The minimum purchase to do a plan with GE Money is $249.00. 

Lessons

We have lesson studios that we rent to local teachers. They set up all their own scheduling and billing. We have a large list of teachers in the area and will gladly tell you which ones teach at the store. Stop by or call to get the list.

Currently in Fortuna we have teachers doing guitar, bass, and drum lessons. In Eureka we have teachers doing guitar, piano, violin and a variety of band instruments. We are always open to new teachers and any instrument lessons. We love to see new aspiring musicians!

Consignment

We will gladly sell your unwanted gear on consignment for you. We add 25% on top of what you would like to get out of it. A FMM employee can help you determine the value of your used gear if you don't have an idea of it is worth. We have guitar blue books in the store for your use and the internet is always a great tool. We can not do layaways or rentals on consignment items. They are not ours. They belong to the customers who put them on consignment. 

Sheet Music

We can order any printed music that is currently in print from the publisher. We have a large selection at the Fortuna location and a smaller selection of the most current and popular music in Eureka. We stock books for local schools and teachers at both locations. Most special orders take about 2-3 weeks to arrive in store. Special orders need to be paid before we order.
