ABOUT

Finlay and Gage Musical Instruments

David Gage founded David Gage String Instrument Repair in 1978. That shop specialized in the sale, restoration, and repair of upright basses, cellos, violas, and violins with a client roster that ranged from great orchestral musicians to jazz, rock 'n roll, country, and world music performers.

Today, Finlay + Gage continues with the same spirit of the old shop —professional-level service for every player— while also inviting customers who play fretted instruments. We serve professionals, students, and amateurs, and pride ourselves on the care and attention we give each player and their instrument. Our focus is on maximizing the sound potential of the instrument and the playing requirements of the individual musician.

Currently, we are two stores, one in New York City and the other in Maplewood, New Jersey.

We offer world-class repair, rentals and an unparalleled assortment of instruments for sale.
