High Note Orchestral

30/03/2026

Just over a year ago I embarked on a new journey and stepped into the world of owning and operating my own business. The concept was initially shaped into High Note Orchestral, but quickly shifted to being part of Vanguard Orchestral, with the opening of a full workshop and retail shop in Epsom, Auckland back in August 2025. Along with the addition of Nuray to the Wellington crew, both workshops now offer comprehensive services for Woodwinds, Brass, and Orchestral Strings onsite!

It has not been without it challenges, and I have no illusions of not being presented with new challenges as things progress, move forward, and grow. But I am always warmed by the support, positive vibes, advice and patience from clients, colleages, family, and friends as I make my way on this journey!

Ultimately, Vanguard Orchestral aims to be New Zealand’s musical-instrument problem-solvers! Sometimes the best options are service, modification, or repair. Other times its better to consider purchasing a replacement. Either way, the most experienced musical instrument technical team in New Zealand will help you navigate those choices. And I am so very pleased and proud to be a part of that team.

In case you haven't noticed, High Note Orchestral has teamed up with Vanguard Orchestral, opening a branch in Auckland. We are super excited to work with such an amazing team and couldn't imagine a better business partner.

As such, you can rely on all the same premium, musical instrument services, tailored to you and your music program. While we have now established a world-class workshop in Epsom, Auckland, we still offer services from our workshop in Snells Beach, as well as offer pick-up and delivery services across Auckland. We also have some trips planned for Northland, as well as one possibly brewing for the Waikato. So please reach out if you are interested!
