Once upon a reel, in the bustling heart of Los Angeles, there existed a forgotten sanctuary of stories, where the whispers of worn-out instruments echoed through time. The Last Repair Shop, a 2023 documentary, unfolded its tale in a place where craftsmanship met the soul of music.
Picture this – a downtown warehouse, a haven for dedicated craftspeople, Dana, Paty, Duane, and Steve. In their skilled hands, over 80,000 student instruments found refuge, each carrying a melody of its own. As the film unspooled, the workshop’s fading walls became a canvas for narratives etched in piano keys, saxophone reeds, and violin strings.
The story delved into the lives of these unsung heroes, with Steve Bagmanyan, a piano technician and an Armenian refugee, as a guiding melody. His journey transcended tuning pianos; it became a symphony of resilience and hope, echoing through the corridors of an LAUSD workshop older than memory itself.

Premiering at Telluride, the film danced into the spotlight, winning hearts and the Best Documentary Short Film award at the Calgary International Film Festival. Critics’ Choice Documentary Awards sang its praises, and the Academy beckoned, marking a historic moment for L.A. Times Studios.
But what’s a tale without a soundtrack? Enter Katya Richardson and Kris Bowers, weaving a musical tapestry that stirred emotions. From the delicate notes of “Dana: Strings” to the resounding chords of “Steve: Pianos,” each track became a heartbeat in the soulful journey of The Last Repair Shop.
As the film spread its wings, captivating audiences, it left a lingering melody – a testament to the craftsmanship, the music, and the stories that echo in every workshop. The Last Repair Shop isn’t just a documentary; it’s a symphony of dedication, a cinematic journey into a world where instruments tell tales, and each repair holds a chapter in the book of time.
