Awesome place to have a vintage synthesizer repair done. They are quick, reliable and have reasonable pricing. I will definitely use them again.

The technicians are as kind as they are skilled. You'd have a hard time finding a better place to service your vintage synthesizers.
Andrew Burke
Very knowledgeable and good at communicating — they fixed a DX-7 for me that was having a few issues and it’s sounding great.
Jim Ground
Great people that do excellent work on vintage synthesizers. They expertly restored Roland and Oberheim keyboards for me

Getting my Juno 106 serviced with Alison and Bell Tone was a joy! They’re all super nice, great communication and they did a stellar job. My synth came back sounding and playing amazingly! I can’t recommend them enough.

Great work!!! Well worth the trip from Virginia to Philly. My refurbished Juno 106 sounds and plays like new. The new voice modules mean no more trips to the repair shop to replace the old ones! Allison and her team are top notch. Thanks Bell Tone Synth Works!

Led by the low-key, but brilliant owner Alison Stout, the team at Bell Tone are the most technically competent crew of synth techs I've encountered in nearly 40 years of synth ownership. They recently restored my basket case of a Sequential Circuits Prophet 10 - I mean, it was... Read more

Couldnt say enough positive things about Alison and bell tone. Sent her a moog prodigy for recap, calibration, and general cleanup/checkup. Her comms are great, turnaround very prompt, thorough explanation of all issues and proposed fixes, and very informative with all my... Read more

I highly recommend Bell Tone Synth Works. Alison Stout is extremely knowledgeable and pays close attention to detail. They have fixed my vintage Moog Taurus pedals and they sound and perform as good as new. Alison is working on restoring my Mini Moog Model D original and she... Read more
