If you already have a Casio DH-100, DH-200, DH-280, DH-500, DH-800 MIDI Horn that needs repair you have come to the right place! Due to cheap components used in the manufacturing process, aging stock Casio DH Horns often can start to produce a very annoying high pitched squeal if not modified by a technician. This squeal renders the Casio wind controller useless as a musical instrument even though the MIDI function works.

Alaska and Hawaii residents call us for the shipping charge. Ohio residents must add appropriate sales tax (call for amount).

Since we are WIND CONTROLLER PROFESSIONALS, we are able to fix the horn very quickly. Most repairs are completed within 24 hours. Our wind controller tech, Matt Traum, has extensive experience playing, customizing, and repairing wind controllers and wind controller related synths and accessories. Matt's wind controller repair clients include Bob Mintzer (Yellowjackets), Richie Havens, and Bobby Read (Bruce Hornsby). Unlike others that just dabble- we are FULL-TIME WIND CONTROLLER PROFESSIONALS.

Once we fix the squeal it will never return. Unlike other companies, our fix is a permanent repair since we do additional preventative work in our repair service to make 100% sure of this. To prove it, we guarantee our squeal repair for a FULL TWO YEARS! We not only fix the squeal but we will also fix other potential trouble spots at the same time. This is something no one else does.

"Dear Sirs, WOW! Thank you so much for repairing my Casio DH-100... and getting it back to me so quickly!! I have two of these instruments so that I may have a backup. The one you repaired is my original... many years old... and I had no idea how to get it repaired until a friend found your ad online and the rest is history. Thank you again for your excellent service."

"Matt, I got the Casio DH-100 today. It's in beautiful condition. When I got rid of my previous one, I had become used to the rickety shape it had fallen into. This one plays like new...tight buttons, very responsive. It's good to be playing one of them again. Thanks for the great service!"

I play saxes, guitar, and clarinet also, but that digital horn is really special and everyone enjoys hearing it. Thanks again."
