As a graduate of the internship program at Badger State Repair, I am excited to offer affordable, quality instrument options to area musicians, regardless of ability or discipline. Being a Penn State graduate (B.S. Music Education and M.M. Wind Conducting), the former Director of Bands for Hollidaysburg Area High School, and the current Director of the Hollidaysburg Community Band, I also have a keen sense of appreciation for the importance of a properly functioning instrument.Aaron is an Altoona native, with a music education degree from Slippery Rock University, and has been a member of the BANDMAN team since 2018.
As a musician, there is a certain expectation of quality sound. We need an instrument that plays effortlessly. A skilled musician becomes a part of the instrument to bring forth the music being played. Keeping an instrument properly serviced is the primary way to enable ease in performance. We know accidents happen all the time.
No long-term contracts! Satisfy the terms of your lease and own your instrument in twelve months. Or, if you decide you'd like to try a different instrument, or no longer wish to rent the instrument you have, simply exchange it for a different instrument and maintain your rental credit, or return it with no further financial obligation.
Locale: BANDMAN is located next to Nic's Grab & Go, across California Avenue from Pro-Active Sports, just down the road from the Fishbowl Inn. BANDMAN is located in the Altoona, PA (Blair County) area and primarily serves the greater Central Pennsylvania region. Stop by the store, send us an e-mail, or give us a call today.

These people are the best for many reasons. They took good care of my Ibanez and were incredibly fair on pricing. I won't go anywhere else since I was turned on to them, highly recommended.

He fixed my flute super fast! I played flute in college and still sometimes play in church, so my instrument is very precious to me. He was recommended to me by a friend and he was both fast and efficient. I highly recommend him.

Walked in with the expectation of buying a cheap electric guitar and amp setup. After them being extremely knowledgeable and helpful I ended up with a great deal on an authentic Fender strat. These guys really know their stuff and are very helpful and patient. I would highly recommend them for all your guitar needs.

Best shop in the area. Did top notch work on my guitars, setting them up with custom pickups and wiring at a very reasonable rate. Will buy, sell and trade without ripping you off. Turnaround time is a bit slow, but they are a small operation and do great work at a great price.

I am floored by the amazing service I received here! Brought in a very beat up sousaphone on a time crunch. They went above and beyond in fixing every single thing -- the attention to detail was superb. When I asked for the final price, I was speechless at how affordable it was. I was expecting literally three or four times the cost. Service was friendly, and they got it back to me ahead of schedule!
