He then returned back to the music business as a manager and teacher at The Music Score. After a while, the owner at the time would offer the store to Gil and his expanding family, and they most graciously decided to take on the challenge. To which he is found today: repairing a variety of instruments including: Band & Orchestra, Guitars & Basses, the occasional culturally diverse instruments, as well as pianos, and many more.
